Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for fatigue, dizziness, sleepiness, loss of appetite, and joint pain due to undiagnosed illness or other qualifying chronic disability, PTSD, and a left shoulder disorder. The reasons given were that there was no evidence of these conditions during service or in post-service records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran did not have any diagnosed conditions related to his claimed disabilities and that the claims lacked sufficient supporting medical evidence.
