The Veteran's claim for service connection for muscle tremors has been denied as there is no objective evidence of a compensable level of disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms do not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under VA's disability rating schedule, and there are no findings consistent with a moderate or severe injury.
