The Board denied service connection for hypertension, numbness of the hands, feet and legs, and a skin disability as there was no evidence of a current diagnosis or that these conditions were related to the Veteran's military service.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of any of the claimed disabilities during the pendency of the claim, nor was there an indication that they may be associated with an established in-service disease, injury, or event.
