Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including renal failure, sleep apnea, erectile dysfunction, blackout spells, swelling of the eyelids, diminished eyesight, sleep deprivation, and bladder incontinence. The Board also denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for left ankle tendonitis associated with residual scar.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran had diagnoses of the claimed conditions during or approximate to the pendency of the claims, and service connection was not warranted under the applicable legal criteria.
