The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current diagnosis of a colon disorder, and therefore, service connection for this condition is denied. The claims to reopen previously denied claims for duodenal ulcer and anxiety neurosis with psychophysiological gastrointestinal reaction (nervous condition) were also denied.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not show that the veteran currently suffers from a colon disorder or any of the other claimed conditions, and thus service connection cannot be established.
