Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypotension, chronic dizziness/lightheadedness and fainting, and bilateral uncorrected refractive error with astigmatism (claimed as blurred vision) due to the lack of evidence showing a current disability at any time during the appeal or proximate thereto.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence is against finding that the Veteran had a current hypotension disability, chronic dizziness/lightheadedness and fainting, or a current disability manifested by blurred vision at any time during the appeal or proximate thereto.
