The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current eye disability and there is no competent evidence linking his current skin condition to any remote incident of service. Therefore, service connection for both conditions is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing a causal link between the veteran's current eye or skin conditions and any incidents during service.
