The Board denied service connection for anxiety, depression, headaches, a neck disorder, an upper back disorder, a lower back disorder, and a left arm disorder as there was no evidence of current disabilities during the appeal period.

The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not demonstrate the presence of any of the claimed conditions during the appeal period, thus failing to meet the criteria for service connection under 38 U.S.C. § 1110 and 38 C.F.R. § 3.303.
