Denied
The Board denied service connection for a cervical spine disorder, tension headaches, and an initial compensable rating for inguinal hernia. The claim for irritable bowel syndrome was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claims of service connection or an increased rating due to the lack of in-service incurrence or aggravation and the absence of a current disability related to the claimed conditions.
