The veteran's claims for service connection for loss of sexual drive, hair loss on lower extremities, and a chronic gastrointestinal disorder due to undiagnosed illness were denied as there is no evidence of such conditions during his active duty or associated with an undiagnosed illness.
The deciding factor: There is no objective medical evidence showing the veteran's claimed disabilities had their onset during service or are otherwise related to an undiagnosed illness.
