The Board has determined that the Veteran's claimed bladder disorder, chest pain, exposure to a microscopic virus, general malaise, and left foot strain are not related to his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of chronic or continuous symptoms following service, and there are no competent opinions linking these conditions to military service.
