Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including IBS, gingivitis, myocarditis, abnormal heart (irregular heartbeat), muscle pain right hip flexors, muscle pain back, right knee disability, and exposure to hantavirus. The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of any of the claimed disabilities during the course of this appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no persuasive evidence of record indicating a current diagnosis or treatment for any of the Veteran's claimed conditions, thus service connection is inapplicable.
