Denied
The Board denied service connection for left leg shin splints, right leg shin splints, right knee swelling, and PTSD due to a lack of evidence showing current disabilities. The sickle cell trait disability claim was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not show the existence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions during or after service.
