The veteran's claimed conditions of dizziness, total body soreness, fatigue, and headaches are not service-connected. The Board found that the diagnoses for hypertension and left anterior fascicular block were not related to his active service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing a direct link between the veteran's current symptoms and his military service.
