Denied
The Board denied service connection for alopecia and intervertebral disc syndrome as the evidence did not show that the Veteran was on active duty, ACDUTRA, or INACDUTRA during the claimed onset dates.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not establish that the Appellant was on active duty, ACDUTRA, or INACDUTRA on the dates she claims for both conditions.
