The Board granted service connection for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and multiple joint pain, finding that these conditions were incurred during active duty. However, the claim for chemical sensitivity disorder was denied as there is no evidence of a current disability or a link to service.,Service connection was not granted for the veteran's chemical sensitivity disorder due to lack of medical evidence showing a current condition and a link to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA Mountain Home Medical Center records showed that the veteran had multiple joint pain, which the Board found to be related to his active duty service. The heart issue was granted as direct service connection due to its onset during service.,For the chemical sensitivity disorder claim, there is no medical evidence showing a current condition or a link to service.
