Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's left shoulder, right shoulder, and tinnitus disabilities as they were not related to his service. The claims for GERD, a hiatal hernia, and bilateral plantar warts were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to the veteran's service or manifested within one year of separation from service.
