Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left hand-arm vibration syndrome as there was no evidence of current disabilities related to these conditions during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disabilities, and the Veteran's testimony regarding pain productive of functional impairment was not deemed credible given his lack of medical expertise.
