The Board found that the veteran's cholinergic urticaria and premature atrial contractions were not present in service, did not have a known etiology related to service, and are not qualified chronic disabilities. Therefore, the claims for service connection for these conditions were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the veteran had any skin condition or heart condition during service, and there is no medical opinion linking his current diagnoses to service.
