The Board has determined that the veteran does not have any current disabilities of the feet, shoulders, cervical or thoracic spine, brain aneurysm, or headaches that are related to her military service. The claims for these conditions are therefore denied.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence linking any current disability to service.
