Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for gynecomastia and a medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illness, manifested as joint and muscle pain. However, the Veteran was granted an initial 10 percent rating for ocular hypertension with dry eye syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a link between the claimed conditions and service, except for the ocular hypertension with dry eye syndrome which required continuous medication.
