The Board denied service connection for arthralgia, myalgia with chronic pain syndrome as there is no current diagnosis of the condition.
The deciding factor: The record does not establish a current diagnosis of arthralgia, myalgia with chronic pain syndrome and there is no evidence linking any symptoms to the Veteran's active-duty service.
