The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a compensable evaluation for his left ear lobe scar, and denied service connection for residuals of a head injury, residuals of lacerations of the arms, legs, and chest, and a cyst in the mouth. The evidence did not support the veteran's claims.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not provide sufficient information to establish that the veteran had residual disabilities from his reported injuries or conditions during service.
