Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for peptic ulcer disease with gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and colon polyps.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that a claim for service connection for a gastrointestinal disability was received within one year of the Veteran's discharge in October 1985. The earliest claim for this condition was received on January 11, 2011.
