Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, gastrointestinal disorder, joint pain (osteoarthritis), and mood swings. The appeals were not about service connection at all.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of service connection for any of the claimed conditions.
