Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for an eye disability, currently diagnosed as left eye blindness due to pseudotumor cerebri with left eye optic neuropathy, bilateral optic atrophy, and bilateral papilledema.
The deciding factor: The appellant's reports of in-service incurrence were not credible, and there was no evidence of a disabling eye condition during his period of ACDUTRA.
