Denied
The Board denied service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, a thoracolumbar spine disability, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current diagnosis of IBS or CFS, and there was no sufficient evidence to establish a link between these conditions and service. The Board also remanded claims for further development.
