The veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral cataracts and residuals of a left little finger fracture were dismissed because they had already been granted. The claims for service connection for a left leg disorder, low back disorder, right shoulder disorder, and sinusitis were denied due to lack of evidence showing current disability.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of a current diagnosis or functional impairment related to the claimed conditions during the period on appeal.
