The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for right and left knee pain, diarrhea as a chronic disability resulting from an undiagnosed illness, headaches as a chronic disability resulting from an undiagnosed illness, dizziness as a chronic disability resulting from an undiagnosed illness, fatigue as a chronic disability resulting from an undiagnosed illness, and numbness of the hands as a chronic disability resulting from an undiagnosed illness.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a well-grounded claim for service connection in all issues except diarrhea, which was considered to be related to an undiagnosed illness.
