Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and increased ratings, finding no evidence of a current disability or sufficient link to military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to the veteran's military service or that her disabilities warranted an increase in rating.
