Denied
The Board denied service connection for hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), vertigo, rhinitis, sinusitis, and asthma as the evidence did not support a finding of a current disability or a link to active service. The claim for GERD was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not suggest that the Veteran had a disability related to his active service, and there was no indication of an in-service event, injury, or disease associated with the claimed conditions.
