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.
