Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right, middle finger disability and remanded issues related to diabetes mellitus type II with erectile dysfunction, bilateral hearing loss, special monthly compensation (SMC), and total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The record does not support the presence of a current disability at any time during the relevant period for the right, middle finger. The Board found no reason to discuss other elements as there was insufficient evidence supporting the claim.
