The Board granted service connection for a chronic epistaxis disorder and denied service connection for open angle with borderline intraocular pressure, a bilateral hip disability, and an initial compensable rating for benign nevi (moles).

The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for a chronic epistaxis disorder due to its onset during service. The denial was based on the lack of a current disability for open angle with borderline intraocular pressure post-service, and no in-service bilateral hip condition or current disability.
