Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep disorder, left hip condition, bilateral foot condition, left lower extremity radiculopathy, and right lower extremity radiculopathy due to lack of current diagnoses and functional impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's treatment records lacked current diagnoses for the claimed conditions, and post-service treatment records showed no indication of symptoms that functionally impair earning capacity.
