Denied
The Board denied service connection for deep vein thrombosis, hyperlipidemia, vitamin D deficiency, pre-diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea. The Veteran's hypertension was not found to be compensable, and the ratings for his depressive disorder and tinnitus were also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of service connection or increased rating due to the lack of chronic disability or a nexus between the claimed conditions and active military service.
