The veteran's claims for service connection for various disabilities, including those due to an undiagnosed illness, were denied as the evidence did not establish a link between any of these conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: Service records do not show any diagnosed conditions that match the symptoms described by the veteran. The medical evidence does not support a finding of chronicity or continuity of symptomatology for any claimed disability.
