Denied
The Board denied service connection for anxiety, fatigue, neurobehavioral effects (including mood), unspecified depressive disorder, hypertension, migraines, and degenerative disc disease. The Veteran's left ear hearing loss was also denied a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claims as it failed to establish a link between the claimed conditions and service or any in-service event, injury, or illness.
