The Board has found no objective evidence of chronic disabilities associated with the veteran's claimed conditions and denied all service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and laboratory studies have not provided any objective indications of chronic disability for the conditions claimed by the veteran, and thus cannot be attributed to a known clinical diagnosis.
