The Board denied service connection for allergies as there is no evidence of a current diagnosis related to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current diagnosis or symptoms of allergies during or immediately prior to the appellate period, and the Veteran was not afforded a VA examination for this claim.
