Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, an acquired psychiatric disorder, neck and throat pain and spasms, melanoma and melanosarcoma, skin rashes and abnormalities, hyperthyroidism, a sleep condition, and head pain as the evidence did not support that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no current disability for VA purposes in any of the claimed conditions and concluded that there was no nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's active military service based on the evidence of record.
