Denied
The Board denied service connection for urethritis, left epididymitis, genital warts, Bell's palsy, and noncompensable evaluations for residuals of a fractured 5th digit, left hand, rhinitis, upper respiratory infections, and scar on the right index finger.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively show that the Veteran had current disabilities of urethritis, left epididymitis, genital warts, or Bell's palsy during the pendency of the claims. For the increased evaluation claim, there was no evidence showing a disability that warranted a compensable rating.
