The Board denied service connection for several conditions, including bronchial asthma, respiratory insufficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and functional abdominal pain syndrome. However, it granted service connection for right knee tendinitis, left knee tendinitis, and lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims for service connection for several conditions due to lack of current diagnoses or insufficient medical evidence linking them to his active service. However, the evidence supported a conclusion that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's right knee tendinitis and left knee tendinitis began in or were otherwise caused by his active service.
