Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, a kidney cyst (claimed as kidney abscess), kidney cancer, kidney disease, and benign prostatic hyperplasia due to lack of evidence supporting a link between these conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to the veteran's active duty service based on current diagnoses, in-service events, or medical opinions.
