Denied
The Board denied service connection for a lumbar strain and scarring of the lungs as there is no evidence showing that the Veteran has these disabilities or had such during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record fails to show a current diagnosis of either condition, and thus, service connection cannot be granted.
