The Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral foot disorder, eye problems, hypercholesterolemia, chest ache, and tired and rundown feeling were denied as the evidence does not support a causal relationship to his active military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing that any of these conditions are related to the Veteran's active duty service.
