The veteran's claims for service connection for back pain, headaches, and a skin rash are denied as there is no evidence of any current disabilities or treatment during his military service. The claim for service connection based on an undiagnosed illness is also denied.
The deciding factor: There is no objective medical evidence of current diagnoses or treatment for the claimed conditions during active service or within the presumptive period following service.
