Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus and an acquired psychiatric disorder, both directly and as secondary to other conditions.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current disability or in-service incurrence that supported the claims, and medical opinions were not sufficiently probative to establish causation.
