The Board denied service connection for asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), hypertension, right knee strain, and left knee strain as there is no evidence of a current disability or a relationship to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the existence of a current disability or a causal relationship between any claimed condition and service. The VA examinations found that the Veteran does not have a diagnosis of asthma, CFS, or hypertension, and there is no medical evidence linking these conditions to in-service toxic exposures or other incidents.
