Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and an initial compensable evaluation, as well as remanded certain issues for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to the veteran's period of active service or to a service-connected disability.
