Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and an increased rating, finding no evidence of a current disability or sufficient in-service incurrence to support these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had any of the claimed conditions at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, and there was no credible evidence linking his symptoms to service.
