Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypothyroidism, stating that the evidence does not show a current diagnosis of this condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on normal results from a January 2022 VA thyroid function test and the lack of competent medical evidence supporting a current diagnosis of hypothyroidism.
