The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including carcinoma in situ, skin disorders, memory loss, nasal congestion, headaches, and menstrual pain, all claimed as due to undiagnosed illness. The evidence did not support a finding of service connection for any of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not establish that the veteran's current conditions were incurred or aggravated by active military service or related to an incident in service.
