Denied
The Board denied service connection for vertigo, hypertension, a disability manifested by insomnia, left and right ankle disabilities, pes planus, plantar fasciitis, and GERD as there was no evidence of current disability during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record did not reflect that the Veteran had any of the claimed conditions at any time during the appeal period, and VA examinations were not required in the absence of supporting records.
