The Board denied service connection for left knee, right knee, right hip, and upper or lower back disabilities as there was no evidence of a current disability during the appeal period. The claims for left ankle and right ankle were remanded for further development.

The deciding factor: The lack of credible lay or medical evidence demonstrating a current disability related to the claimed conditions during the relevant time period led to the denial of service connection.
