Denied
The Board denied service connection for hepatitis C, jaundice, hypogeusia, and hyposmia as there was no evidence of a current disability during the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a currently diagnosed hepatitis C or jaundice at any time during or approximately to the pendency of the claim, nor were they related to an in-service injury or disease.
