The Board finds that the Veteran's multiple joint arthralgia is a chronic undiagnosed illness manifested during active military service in the Southwest Asia Theater of operations during the Persian Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence confirms objective complaints of chronic multiple joint arthralgias since the Veteran's service in the Persian Gulf, and cannot be attributed to a known clinical diagnosis.
