The Board denied service connection for various disabilities, including abnormal weight loss, a bladder disability, blockage of the neck arteries, and others. The evidence did not support a finding that any of these conditions were related to the Veteran's active service.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighed against a finding that the Veteran had any of the claimed disabilities during the period on appeal or that they were causally related to his active service, including through exposure to contaminants at Camp LeJeune under the PACT Act.
