Denied
The Board denied service connection for cold weather injury, tinnitus, erectile dysfunction (ED), and conditions of the ankles, shoulders, and left hand due to a lack of evidence showing in-service incurrence or current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record does not show that the Veteran had been diagnosed with any of his claimed disabilities during service or since discharge, thus service connection is not warranted.
