Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypothyroidism and a lymph node disorder, to include non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as there was no current disability at the time of the claim or during its pendency.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a current disability, and the Veteran's lay statements are not competent to diagnose these conditions.
