The Veteran's claims for service connection for fever, chills, sweats, psoriasis, and hypothyroidism have been denied as there is no evidence of a chronic disorder or condition associated with these symptoms.
The deciding factor: There are negative histories of fever, chills, and sweats in the record, and VA examiners determined that any reported symptoms were not related to service.
