The Board denied the Veteran's claims of service connection for T-wave and PVC abnormality, chronic abdominal pain, initial compensable ratings for allergic rhinitis, cervicitis, and herpes simplex virus type II. The Veteran was not diagnosed with these conditions during her examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no current disability related to the claimed conditions and indicated that the findings were more of an anomaly rather than a chronic condition.

A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
