Denied
The Board denied service connection for a low back condition and shortness of breath, finding no evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's active service. The anxiety condition was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner determined that there is no nexus between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's military service based on the lack of in-service symptoms and current medical evidence.
