The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a skin disability of the right and left legs, finding no credible evidence linking his current condition to service. The Veteran's TDIU claim was also denied as he is not unemployable due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's current skin conditions and his military service.
