The Board has determined that the Veteran's current respiratory disorder and skin disorders are not related to his military service, but granted service connection for the skin disorders as secondary to a pre-existing condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no evidence of direct service connection for the respiratory disorder or skin conditions, and the Veteran did not provide sufficient evidence to establish continuity of symptomatology since service.
