Denied
The Board denied service connection for a headache disorder, rhinitis, thyroid nodule, left knee disability, and right knee disability as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed no chronic condition during service or within one year of discharge, and there was no nexus to any incident of service. The Veteran's lay statements were inconsistent with the overall record.
