Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral restless leg syndrome, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to active service or any incident of service.
The deciding factor: The record evidence does not show that the Veteran's current bilateral restless leg syndrome, hypertension, or hypercholesterolemia is related directly to active service. The Board also found that his in-service participation in a TERA did not cause or contribute to his current hypertension.
