The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for peptic ulcer disease and angioneurotic edema, finding that these conditions were not incurred or aggravated by active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that there was no evidence of peptic ulcer disease during service and found no relationship between the service-connected PTSD and the veteran's peptic ulcer disease. For angioneurotic edema, the examiner stated there was no evidence of such condition in the examination report.
