Denied
The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disability, sleep disability, and heart murmur, bypass surgery and residuals. The claims for left knee, seizure, head injury, scar on the left cheek, cervical spine, and right hip disabilities were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to service or secondary to another service-connected condition.
