The Board denied service connection for eating disorder, joint pains, pelvic congestion syndrome, and kidney pain. The claims for hair loss and low back pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
