Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and shin splints due to the lack of evidence showing current disabilities or a link to service.
The deciding factor: There was no competent medical evidence indicating the Veteran had the claimed conditions, nor any in-service event that could be linked to these conditions.
