Denied
The Board denied service connection for a digestive disability, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to service or secondary to another service-connected condition.
