The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including an epidemic virus, knee disability, toe disability, memory loss disorder, sleep disorder, dehydration, 'ESP syndrome,' and a nervous disorder. The evidence did not support these claims as they were not incurred or aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no evidence linking the veteran's current conditions to his military service, including exposure to Agent Orange herbicides.
