The Board denied service connection for a bilateral eye condition and an ovarian cyst, but remanded claims for service connection for right hip, right knee, right ankle, bilateral foot, respiratory conditions, and migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities other than refractive errors in the eyes and no continuous treatment was required for the ovarian cyst. The Board found that a remand was necessary to obtain adequate medical opinions on the nature and etiology of the claimed right hip, right knee, right ankle, bilateral foot, and respiratory conditions.
