The Board denied service connection for various disabilities, including cervical spine, lumbar spine, left shoulder, right shoulder, left knee, right knee, plantar fasciitis, and sleep disorder, as the evidence did not support a finding of current disabilities or functional impairment affecting earning capacity.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show current disabilities for the claimed conditions during the appeal period, nor was there any indication that the Veteran experienced functional impairments related to these disabilities that affected his earning capacity.
