The Board denied service connection for a right foot frostbite disability and remanded several other claims, including those related to migraine headaches, dizziness, heart disability, sexual dysfunction, psychiatric disorder, gastrointestinal issues, left leg, right leg, and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim of a current right foot frostbite disability. A VA examination was required for the other claims due to potential in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
