Denied
The Board denied service connection for high cholesterol, finding that the condition does not result in functional impairment or loss of earning capacity.
The deciding factor: The evidence is persuasively against a finding that the Veteran's high cholesterol constitutes a disability under VA standards, as it does not impact his ability to perform occupational tasks and there is no evidence of associated functional impairment resulting in loss of earning capacity.
