Denied
The Board denied service connection for heart, hypertension, diabetes, insomnia, and foot disabilities as the evidence did not show current diagnoses or functional limitations related to these conditions during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was against a finding that the Veteran had any diagnosed heart, hypertension, diabetes, insomnia, or foot disability; or had a related chronic disability resulting in functional impairment.
