The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for epididymitis, onychomycosis, scabies, and impotence due to a lack of evidence showing chronic disabilities or a link between current conditions and service.
The deciding factor: There was no proof of present disability for any of the claimed conditions, and the medical records did not show a connection between service and the veteran's current conditions.
