The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for right foot, left foot, eye, and chronic fatigue syndrome disabilities due to a lack of evidence showing these conditions were incurred or aggravated during his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examination reports did not find any current disability related to the claimed conditions and there was no medical opinion linking the Veteran's symptoms to his military service.
