Denied
The Board denied service connection for benign micro adenoma of the pituitary and hypogonadism as secondary to it, and remanded several other conditions for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to the Veteran's active duty service or a service-connected disability.
