The Board denied service connection for various disabilities, including right knee, left knee, low back, neck, and right hip disabilities, as well as bilateral hearing loss. The claims were denied due to the lack of evidence suggesting current disabilities.

The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record is against these claims, the benefit of the doubt rule does not apply, and there is no evidence or allegation suggesting a current disability affecting the knees, low back, neck, or right hip.
