Denied
The Board denied service connection for fibromyalgia, migraines, neuropsychological signs or symptoms, and a respiratory condition. The claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder, sleep disorder, lumbar spine disability, bilateral eye conditions, gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, and left below knee amputation were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support the Veteran's claims as there is no current diagnosis or in-service event related to these conditions. For the remanded claims, further medical opinions are needed due to conflicting evidence regarding pre-existing conditions and potential aggravation.
