Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a back condition, knee conditions, headaches, and others, as the evidence did not demonstrate that any of these conditions were incurred or aggravated during active service, ADT, or IDT.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a link between the claimed in-service incurrence or aggravation of a disease or injury and the present disability for any of the conditions on appeal.
