Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic headaches, CFS, fibromyalgia, respiratory insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmia, skin disability, and chronic sinusitis due to a lack of evidence supporting the presence of these conditions during or after service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support the existence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions, and there was no sufficient medical rationale provided for the private chiropractor's opinion.
