Denied
The Board denied service connection for adenomatous colon polyps, sleep apnea, vertigo, GERD, IBS, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and PTSD due to a lack of evidence showing a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence establishing a nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's in-service toxic exposure or other service-related factors.
