The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection for dizziness, bilateral foot pain, and memory impairment are denied as there is no medical evidence of any currently diagnosed disability manifested by these symptoms.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence linking the veteran's current symptoms to his military service or any undiagnosed illness related to Gulf War service.
