The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a disability manifested by chronic chest pain due to disease or injury incurred in service.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence establishing a chronic disorder corresponding to the veteran's subjective complaints of chest pain, and no reasonable possibility that a VA examination would result in findings favorable to the veteran.
