Partly granted
Service connection for gastrointestinal disability and tinnitus is granted. Service connection for left ankle, right ankle, and lumbar spine disabilities is denied. All other issues are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported service connection for gastrointestinal disability and tinnitus but not for the other conditions due to lack of current disability or in-service injury.
