The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, kidney disease, and left knee disability as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not relate any of the claimed conditions to an in-service injury, event, or disease. The Veteran's diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, kidney disease, and left knee disability were not shown as chronic in service and did not manifest to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period.
