Denied
The Board denied service connection for GERD, a left knee condition, a right knee condition, a lumbar spine condition, left lower extremity neuropathy, right lower extremity neuropathy, OSA, and ED as the evidence did not show that these conditions were related to active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no credible evidence of in-service incurrence or aggravation for any of the claimed conditions, and no medical nexus between the current conditions and service was established.
