The Board has granted service connection for headaches with associated dizziness and sudden illness, weakness and fatigue, and multiple joint pain as due to undiagnosed illnesses related to the veteran's Gulf War service.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran experienced symptoms of these conditions during his active duty in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations and they are not attributable to a known clinical diagnosis.
