Denied
The Board denied service connection for chest injury, TBI, and migraine headaches as the Veteran did not have a current diagnosis of these conditions.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence to support the existence of chronic, clinically diagnosed conditions of chest injury, TBI, or migraine headaches, and the VA examiner found that there were no objective abnormalities during the physical assessment on the day of the exam.
