The Veteran's claims for service connection and initial rating have been denied. The Board has remanded the issues of service connection for a psychiatric disorder, chest pain (also claimed as costochondritis), and tension headaches associated with seizure disorder.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence to support the Veteran's claims for service connection or an initial compensable rating for his conditions.
