The Board denied service connection for right foot, left foot, and sleep apnea disabilities due to lack of current diagnoses. The claims for carotid artery blockage, residuals of lung cancer, residuals of neck cancer, and acquired psychiatric disability were remanded for further action.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of proof of current disabilities for the denied claims.
