The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for fungal infection of the hands and feet, chronic night pain, residuals of cold injury with frostbite, arthritis of the hands and feet, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The claim for clubbing of the hands was previously denied as not well grounded.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish a current disability or link to service for any of the conditions claimed.
