Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and increased ratings, finding that the evidence did not support a link between his current conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record weighs persuasively against a finding that the Veteran's left hip arthritis with impingement, right hand arthritis, left hand arthritis, sinusitis with retention cysts, or rhinitis are related to his service.
