Denied
The Board denied service connection for allergic rhinitis and eczema as there is no credible, competent medical evidence establishing any relationship between these disabilities and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's allergic rhinitis and eczema were less likely than not caused by his TERA in service, and there is no credible evidence linking these conditions to service.
