The Board denied service connection for a skin disability, heart disease, and digestive disability but granted service connection for bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service TERA and his current rosacea and hemangioma or heart disease. The Veteran's pes planus was found to be related to his active military service, while there was no evidence supporting a connection between IBS and service.
