Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral shin splints as there was no evidence of a current diagnosis during or approximate to the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran had been diagnosed with shin splints at any time during or approximate to the period on appeal, and thus service connection could not be granted.
