Denied
The Board denied service connection for acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, back pain, tuberculosis (TB), and bilateral hearing loss. The claim for a higher rating for bilateral pes planus was also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities or an in-service incurrence for any of the claimed conditions, and there were no findings that warranted a higher disability rating for the service-connected bilateral pes planus.
