The Board denied the Veteran's claims for earlier effective dates, increased ratings, and service connection for diverticulitis.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or higher rating due to insufficient evidence of the claimed conditions during the relevant periods, and the remanded issues were based on a lack of sufficient evidence to establish service connection.
