Denied
The Board denied service connection for arthritis and cervical strain, finding no current diagnosis or evidence of in-service incurrence. The claim for chronic rhinitis was remanded due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current diagnoses or in-service incurrence for the claimed conditions.
