Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral foot disability, respiratory disability (breathing difficulty), cardiac disability (irregular heartbeat), and right hip disability as there was no evidence of a current disability or a link to active service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record does not show that the Veteran has a current disability related to his claimed conditions during the appeal period, thus denying service connection for these disabilities.
