Denied
The Board denied service connection for diverticulitis, lumbar spinal stenosis, and cervical spinal stenosis as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was persuasive evidence against the Veteran's claims, indicating that there was no nexus between the claimed conditions and service exposure or events.
