Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic nephritis, back pain, left and right leg and knee pain, insomnia, and nausea as there was no evidence of a current disability during the appeal period or proximate thereto.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that the Veteran has been diagnosed with any of the claimed conditions or any condition involving these symptoms. The records do not indicate a current condition for any of the claims on appeal, and the first elements of Shedden/Caluza are not met.
