Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus and remanded the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's diabetes was related to service or had onset within one year of separation, while a VA examination was needed to address potential links between the Veteran's claimed psychiatric disorders and his military service.
