Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including stomach disability, fecal incontinence, urinary incontinence, diabetes mellitus, erectile dysfunction, left shoulder disability, residuals of fractured right middle finger, and right hip disability. The Board also denied increased ratings for shin splints, allergic rhinitis with history of sinusitis, post operative turbinate reduction, and residual scar of ganglion cyst removal.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to his service or exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
