Denied
The Board denied service connection for a skin disability, claimed as chloracne, due to the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis and no in-service incurrence or aggravation. The claims for right lower extremity (RLE) and left lower extremity (LLE) diabetic peripheral neuropathy were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no competent medical evidence supporting the Veteran's claim of a skin disability, including chloracne, during the appeal period. The claims for RLE and LLE diabetic peripheral neuropathy were remanded due to an incomplete record regarding in-service toxic exposure events.
