Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, left leg sciatic radiculopathy, right leg sciatic radiculopathy, and right upper extremity neuropathy due to a lack of evidence supporting current diagnoses or functional impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability as defined by VA regulation for any of the claimed conditions, including bilateral hearing loss, left and right leg sciatic radiculopathy, and right upper extremity neuropathy.
