The Veteran does not have a current condition of swelling in his feet, legs and arms. The Board finds no evidence supporting the claims for service connection for sleep disorder, restless sleep, urinary disorder, or respiratory disorder.
The deciding factor: There is no current medical evidence of a condition of swelling in the Veteran's feet, legs, and arms. The other conditions were not supported by competent medical evidence.
