Denied
The Board found that the veteran does not currently have a stomach disorder or psychiatric disorder, and thus denied his claims for service connection.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence of current stomach or psychiatric disabilities, and any symptoms are attributed to medication taken for a service-connected left hip disability.
