The Board has determined that the veteran does not have residuals of a right wrist injury, a scar on his forehead, or broken teeth due to service. The VA examinations did not find any current disabilities related to these conditions. For the remaining claims for undiagnosed illnesses, there is insufficient evidence to establish a connection between the claimed disorders and service.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support the veteran's assertions of current disabilities related to his period of active service.
