The Board denied service connection for athlete's foot due to the lack of a current diagnosis, and remanded the claim for asthma for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current disability or a link between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his active duty service, including exposures under the PACT Act.
