Denied
The Board denied service connection for chest pain, a gastrointestinal disability, a neck disability, and a bilateral knee disability. The Veteran was also denied a compensable rating for iliotibial band syndrome of the right hip and for right hip limitation of extension.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence showing that the Veteran has a current diagnosed disability manifested by chest pain, a gastrointestinal disability, a neck disability, or a disability of either knee. The appeal in these matters must be denied.
