The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a skin disorder due to the absence of a current disability, and remanded the claim for a sinus disorder for further examination.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a current skin disorder, and the VA examiner confirmed that any shingles experienced by the Veteran have resolved. The Board must deny the claim in the absence of a current disability. For the sinus disorder, the record indicates symptoms but does not establish an etiological relationship to service.
