The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of any claimed conditions and therefore, service connection cannot be established for these conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing a current disability or in-service incurrence or aggravation of an injury or disease related to the claimed conditions.
