Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and an increased rating, finding that the evidence did not support a diagnosis of any of the claimed conditions or establish a link between those conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record was against finding that the Veteran had any of the claimed disabilities during or approximate to the pendency of the claims, as there were no complaints, treatment, or diagnoses for these conditions in the service records or post-service medical records.
