Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, hemorrhoids, acid reflux/GERD, and a nervous stomach condition because the evidence did not show these conditions began during or were related to active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that any of these conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
