Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), memory loss as secondary to PTSD, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bilateral plantar fasciitis, and right elbow condition due to a lack of evidence supporting current disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had current disabilities of PTSD or memory loss, and there was no medical opinion linking his claimed conditions to service. The Board also remanded claims for further development.
