Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for neurological symptoms of his back, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms as resulting from an undiagnosed illness. The reasons were that there was no evidence to support these conditions during or after military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing a nexus between the claimed disabilities and active duty service.
