The Board has denied all the claims for service connection as they are not supported by evidence of a chronic disability manifested during or within one year after service, and there is no medical evidence linking any current conditions to service.
The deciding factor: There is no objective evidence of shortness of breath or numbness and tingling of the extremities in service records. The veteran's complaints were not supported by independent verification and his claims for undiagnosed illness are denied as he did not provide sufficient medical evidence linking current conditions to service.
