Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for dermatochalasis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and blepharitis. The claims for lumbosacral strain, left lower extremity radiculopathy (sciatic nerve), right shoulder tendinopathy, diabetes, and prostate cancer with urinary incontinence status-post prostatectomy were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current conditions were related to his service. For some claims, further examination was needed due to new evidence submitted by the Veteran.
