Denied
The Board denied service connection for hearing loss, a bladder condition, and various other conditions including psychiatric issues, alopecia, musculoskeletal problems, and skin conditions. The Veteran's claims were not supported by the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities or a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and service, as required for service connection under 38 U.S.C. § 1110 and 38 C.F.R. § 3.303.
