The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of a fracture of the right ankle, a right wrist disability, a left wrist disability, a low back disability, and pseudofolliculitis barbae. The evidence does not support these claims as there is no current diagnosis or showing of such disabilities.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not show any current residuals from the veteran's service-connected injuries or any other current disabilities that may be related to his service.
