Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's right ulnar nerve laceration, forehead laceration, and mental condition claimed as secondary to a forehead laceration. The evidence did not support that these injuries occurred during active duty or related training.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence weighs against a finding that the Veteran was on active duty when he sustained the claimed injuries.
