Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, Sjogren's Syndrome, blurry vision (refractive error), restless genital syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and urinary incontinence as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence was against the claims for service connection due to the lack of a nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service, with no credible evidence supporting an etiological link.
