The Veteran's claims for service connection for right and left ankle disabilities, as well as a back disability, have been denied due to the lack of current diagnoses.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss was denied as the evidence did not show that his current hearing loss disability had its onset in service or was caused by active service. The claims for initial compensable ratings for right index finger, left ankle, and right knee disabilities are remanded to obtain updated VA treatment records and schedule the Veteran with appropriate VA examinations.

The Veteran's appeal was denied for his claims of service connection for various conditions, including bilateral eye disability, left ankle and foot disabilities, asbestosis, right hip osteoarthritis with labral tears, left knee disability, and left hip tear. The RO found that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for an eye disability.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
