Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for posttraumatic stress disorder, service connection for gallbladder disease and functional gastrointestinal disorders, and remanded claims for peripheral neuropathy, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and residuals of liver disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had current disabilities related to his claimed conditions or that these conditions were incurred in service or otherwise related to an in-service event or injury.
