The veteran's claims for service connection were denied, and the issues of forgetfulness, chronic headaches, acne vulgaris and folliculitis, and a hiatal hernia, to include secondary to an undiagnosed illness; and for major depression, to include fatigue, light headedness and nervousness are dismissed.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not have any current musculoskeletal disability linked to service or due to an undiagnosed illness. The claims were denied as there was no evidence of a chronic disorder in service that could be attributed to the current disabilities.
