The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including an acquired psychiatric disorder, tinea cruris, vision loss, and bilateral hearing loss. The claim for initial ratings was also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of separate diagnoses for anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, or insomnia; there was no current diagnosis of tinea cruris; decreased visual acuity was due to refractive error without additional disability; and bilateral hearing loss was not shown to be related to service.
