Denied
The Board denied service connection for a deviated nasal septum, rhinitis, and a lung or respiratory disability due to the lack of evidence showing current disabilities.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current disability at any time during the pendency of the claims or recent to the filing of the claims. The Veteran's lay reports were not credible as they were inconsistent with contemporaneous medical records and other evidence.
