The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current disability related to sea sickness or dizzy spells incurred in service, and thus denied both claims for service connection.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence showing current disability related to claimed sea sickness or dizzy spells, despite the veteran's assertions.
