The Board granted service connection for non-specific dermatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome and headaches due to undiagnosed illness. The other claims were not addressed as they are related to conditions that did not meet the criteria for Gulf War Illness.
The deciding factor: The veteran's skin rash was found to be related to his active duty service, while memory disorder and autoimmune disorder were not demonstrated or linked to service.
