Denied
The Board denied service connection for diverticulosis, GERD, and hiatal hernia as the evidence did not show a link to an in-service disease or injury.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence linking the current conditions to service, and the Veteran has not alleged any in-service symptoms related to these conditions.
