Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, sore gums due to dental abscesses, and bipolar disorder. The appeal as to service connection for anxiety and depression was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show a current disability in any of the claimed conditions, thus the cornerstone element of service connection has not been met.
