The Board has determined that the Veteran's allergy disorder had its onset during active service and is therefore granted service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran was treated for allergies while in service, and he currently receives ongoing treatment. His lay statements of continuity of symptoms are credible given his medical background.

- Granted

- Denied
The Board finds that the evidence does not support service connection for any of the claimed conditions, including a kidney disorder.
- Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claims for service connection for an allergy disorder, urticaria (hives), right eye retinal detachment, and an acquired psychiatric disorder including PTSD due to a lack of evidence showing these conditions were incurred or aggravated by military service. The exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam is presumed.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
