Denied
The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including PTSD, IBS, cardiac arrhythmia, CFS, chronic headaches, chronic sinusitis, dyspnea, and fibromyalgia. The claim for bilateral pes planus was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively support the presence of the claimed conditions during or approximate to the pendency of the claims.
