The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for tremors, a sleep disorder, and a 'nerves' disorder due to an undiagnosed illness or other qualifying chronic disability. The evidence did not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate these claims.
The deciding factor: The medical records do not show that the Veteran's conditions are related to active duty service or any qualifying exposure, and the claim was not based on a presumptive condition.
