The veteran's claims for service connection for preseptal cellulitis of the eyelids and bleeding gums have been denied. The Board has also remanded other issues related to increased ratings for various disorders.
The deciding factor: The veteran does not have a current diagnosis of the claimed conditions, and his diagnoses are not service-connected.
