Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a neck disability, plantar fasciitis, nerve damage, GERD, erectile dysfunction, and sleep apnea. The Board also denied increased ratings and effective dates for the Veteran's psychiatric disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not indicate that the Veteran had any of the claimed disabilities proximate to or during the pendency of his claims, and the Veteran's psychiatric disability was productive of no more than occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity prior to June 5, 2023.
