The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, hypertension, bilateral hearing loss, and a heart murmur as the evidence did not show that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The opinions of record are competent, credible, and probative as they collectively are premised upon personal examination of the Veteran, a review of his service treatment records, a review of his VA treatment records, a review of his individual longitudinal exposure record, and a review of the literature. There are no opinions in favor of the claim.
