The veteran's claims for increased evaluations and service connection for right hip and right lower leg conditions have been denied as there is no current evidence of these conditions. The Board finds that the preponderance of the evidence is against the veteran's claims.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing current disabilities of the right hip or right lower leg, which are necessary to establish service connection.
