The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for urinary incontinence, peripheral neuropathy of the right and left lower extremities, tinnitus, right ear hearing loss, and left ear hearing loss. The Board found no evidence of a current disability for VA purposes.
The deciding factor: There is no clinical or credible lay evidence showing any current disabilities for which service connection could be granted.
