Denied
The Board denied service connection for joint pains, CFS, allergic rhinitis, eczema, IBS, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and sleep apnea as there was no evidence of a current disability or that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The claims were denied due to the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis of any of the claimed conditions during the pendency of the claim, and no nexus between the claimed in-service disease or injury and the present disease or injury was established.
