Denied
The Board denied service connection for various disabilities, including back, knee, ankle, psychiatric, and migraine conditions, as the evidence did not support a link to active duty service or a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence failed to establish an etiological link between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active duty service or any service-connected condition.
