The Board denied service connection for a gastrointestinal disorder, granted service connection for skin disorders (tinea pedis and cruris), denied service connection for glaucoma, and denied service connection for hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the veteran's gastrointestinal disorder was related to service. The skin disorders were found to be related to service, but there was no evidence linking glaucoma or hearing loss to service.
