Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a right ear condition and basic eligibility for nonservice-connected pension benefits, as there was no evidence of current disability or active military service during a period of war.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding that the appellant had a current right ear condition due to an in-service event, nor did he have the requisite active military service during a recognized period of war for eligibility to nonservice-connected pension benefits.
