Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and increased ratings, finding no evidence to support a causal relationship between his conditions and military service or that his conditions are more severe than currently rated.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence of record does not establish a nexus between the Veteran's conditions and his military service, and there is no indication that any condition has worsened beyond the current ratings.
