The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current disability manifested by skin, memory loss, or chronic fatigue. The evidence of record is insufficient to establish service connection for these conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no objective medical evidence showing the existence of any current disabilities related to the claimed conditions and there are no competent opinions linking these conditions to service.

A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available.
