The Board denied service connection for cervical spine, bilateral hip, left shoulder, and right ankle disabilities and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy as the evidence did not support the existence of these conditions during or approximate to the pendency of the appeal. The Veteran's hearing loss was rated noncompensable.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a current disability for any of the claimed conditions, and there was no credible lay or medical evidence linking the claimed disabilities to service or a service-connected condition.
