The Board denied service connection for GERD, ED, headaches, and PTSD as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not indicate that the Veteran's claimed disabilities manifested during or were related to his active service. The passage of time between discharge from active service and the medical documentation of the claimed disabilities was a factor that tended to weigh against the claims for service connection.
