The veteran's claims for right and left knee disabilities, asthma, migraine headaches, dental disability, and PTSD have all been denied as there is no evidence of these conditions in service or post-service. The veteran has also been denied entitlement to a total rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The claims for right and left knee disabilities, asthma, migraine headaches, dental disability, and PTSD have all failed because the record does not contain any evidence of these conditions in service or post-service. The veteran's service medical records do not include any documentation related to these conditions.
