The Board found no evidence of current liver disorder, right eye epidermic keratoconjunctivitis, chronic upper respiratory infections, or chronic urinary tract infection. Therefore, service connection for these conditions is denied.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence showing the veteran currently has any of the claimed disabilities.
