Denied
The Board denied service connection for all claimed conditions, including Parkinson's disease, bilateral lung condition, chronic kidney disease, urinary leakage, erectile dysfunction, GERD, heart condition, right and left knee conditions, hypertension, and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran has had any of these conditions at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
