The Board denied service connection for an immune disorder and a disability manifested by muscle pain, as the weight of the evidence did not support the existence of these conditions. The claim for a skin disability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran had an immune disorder or a disability manifested by muscle pain at any time during the pendency or proximate to the filing of his claims, and there were no objective findings to diagnose such conditions.
