Denied
The Board denied service connection for all claimed conditions as the evidence did not support a finding of current disability or a link to active duty, particularly given the Veteran's discharge under dishonorable conditions following conviction at a general court-martial.
The deciding factor: The lack of medical evidence supporting current diagnoses and the statutory bar due to the Veteran's dishonorable discharge precluded service connection for all claimed conditions.
