The Veteran's eating disorder did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, and the claims for service connection for GERD, hemorrhoids, left hip condition, and nose condition were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's eating disorder was manifest by incapacitating episodes as required for a compensable rating. The claims for service connection require additional medical evidence to establish a nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service.
