The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for menorrhagia, as there was no evidence of a current disability at the time of the claim or during its pendency.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any currently diagnosed disability or medical findings of menorrhagia that would constitute a disability for which service connection could be established.
