DismissedPACT Act
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for migraine headaches, hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), nausea/intestinal irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and sleep disturbances because they were not filed on the proper form. The claim for service connection for a spleen condition was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file the claims on the correct forms as instructed by the VA, and there is no evidence of a current diagnosis of a spleen condition.
