Denied
The Board denied service connection for a heart condition, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), and tinnitus as the evidence did not support a finding of a connection between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an in-service event or injury that would cause the Veteran's heart condition, lupus, or tinnitus, and there was no competent medical opinion linking any of these conditions to his military service.
