The Veteran's claims for service connection for eye disability, head tremors, and bilateral restless leg syndrome have been denied as there is no competent medical evidence linking these conditions to his active service or a service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing that the Veteran's current disabilities are related to his military service or a service-connected condition.

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