The Board has determined that the appellant's benign essential tremor of the hands is etiologically related to his active service in the Persian Gulf.,However, the appellant's intermittent hyperhidrosis/intertrigo of the feet was not present during his active service and is not considered a chronic disability. The Board also found no evidence linking this condition to his service.

The deciding factor: The benign essential tremor of the hands is linked to the appellant's active service in the Persian Gulf, meeting the criteria for direct service connection.,There is insufficient evidence to establish that the hyperhidrosis/intertrigo of the feet was present during his service or related to his military service.
