Denied
The Board has denied service connection for multiple conditions and denied higher initial ratings for several service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to his active military service or that his service-connected disabilities warrant higher ratings based on the current medical findings and applicable rating criteria.
