The Veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including skin condition, bone marrow condition, peripheral neuropathy, respiratory condition, and liver condition, are denied as there is no current medical evidence of these conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no competent and credible lay or medical evidence of a currently existing disability for any of the claimed conditions.
