The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for nerve damage due to a lack of evidence showing he has a current disability.
The deciding factor: There is no current diagnosis of nerve damage, and the VA medical opinion found that the Veteran's symptoms were of an unknown etiology with no objective findings supporting a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy.
