The veteran's claim for service connection for type II diabetes mellitus was denied. The claims for left hip impairment, left hip osteoarthritis with limitation of extension, right arm condition, and sleep apnea were remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not show that the Veteran had diabetes mellitus during service or within one year thereafter, and there was no nexus established between his current disorder and military service.
