The Board finds that the veteran's claims of entitlement to service connection for a respiratory disorder manifested by chest pain and for a chronic headache disorder are not well grounded because there is no current evidence of a chronic headache disorder or chest disability in the form of a medical diagnosis; no evidence of incurrence or aggravation of a respiratory disorder manifested by chest pain or of a chronic headache disorder in service; and no medical evidence of a nexus between any inservice injury or disease and any current respiratory, chest, or chronic headache disorder.

The deciding factor: The veteran's claims are not well grounded as there is no current evidence of a chronic headache disorder or chest disability in the form of a medical diagnosis; no evidence of incurrence or aggravation of a respiratory disorder manifested by chest pain or of a chronic headache disorder in service; and no medical evidence of a nexus between any inservice injury or disease and any current respiratory, chest, or chronic headache disorder.
