The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for allergies, left arm pain, right arm pain, and right ankle pain due to a lack of evidence supporting the existence of current disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of currently diagnosed conditions related to the claimed disabilities, and there was no nexus established between the claimed disabilities and the veteran's service.
