Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for hypothyroidism, finding no current diagnosis of the condition and insufficient evidence to support a determination that he had it during his lifetime.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively show the Veteran had a current diagnosis of hypothyroidism, which is required for service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303.
