Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and hypothyroidism, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's service on a non-presumptive basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record weighed against a finding that the Veteran's hypertension and hypothyroidism are related to his service due to the lack of in-service symptoms or treatment, and the onset of these conditions decades after service separation.
