The Board denied service connection for all the claimed conditions as there was no evidence of a current disability or that any of the claimed disabilities were related to active duty.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against finding diagnoses of or functional impairment of earning capacity resultant from the appellant's claimed conditions during the period on appeal, and there is insufficient evidence to establish service connection for any of the claimed disabilities.
