The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, rhinitis, asthma, severe lower back pain, chronic right knee pain, and chronic left knee pain as there was no evidence of a current disability at the time of the claim or during its pendency.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence showing that the Veteran has a current diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss, rhinitis, asthma, severe lower back pain, chronic right knee pain, or chronic left knee pain. Therefore, service connection cannot be granted as there is no evidence of a current disability related to these conditions.
