Denied
The Board denied service connection for residuals of frostbite of the bilateral hands and feet due to a lack of evidence showing current diagnoses or symptoms related to these conditions during or proximate to the pendency of the claims.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a diagnosis of frostbite of the Veteran's bilateral hands and/or feet, nor has there been such a diagnosis at any time during or proximate to the pendency of the claims.
