The Veteran's claims for service connection were denied as new and material evidence was not received. The Board found no current diagnosis of or treatment for the claimed conditions.

The deciding factor: No current diagnoses of the claimed conditions were found in the medical records, and the Veteran did not provide credible persuasive evidence supporting his claims.
