The Board has reopened the Veteran's service connection claims for gastrointestinal disorder, migraine headache disorder, acquired psychiatric disorder (including PTSD and disorders other than PTSD), and left foot disorder. However, the claims remain denied as new and material evidence was not provided to substantiate these conditions.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted in support of the Veteran's service connection claims for gastrointestinal disorder, migraine headache disorder, acquired psychiatric disorder (including PTSD and disorders other than PTSD), and left foot disorder. However, this evidence did not provide a basis to establish that any current condition is related to military service.
