The Board has determined that the veteran's allergies were not manifested during service or within a year of separation, and there is no medical evidence linking his current allergies to his military service. As such, the claim for service connection for allergies is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing that the veteran's current allergies are related to his military service.
