The Board of Veterans' Appeals has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for right hip, shoulder, eye, foot, and knee disorders due to a lack of current evidence demonstrating these conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing that the veteran currently suffers from any of the claimed right hip, shoulder, eye, foot, or knee disorders.
