The Board denied service connection for skin abscess and remanded claims for asthma, diabetes mellitus, erectile dysfunction, and enuresis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of a skin abscess condition. The Veteran's claim was denied based on the lack of a current disability element required for service connection.
