Denied
The Board denied service connection for an eye disability, a disability manifesting in abnormal weight loss, and increased ratings for depressive disorder with anxious distress, scarring alopecia and scarring, and painful, residual scars associated with scarring alopecia. The Board also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not reach relative equipoise that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to service or a service-connected disability.
