Denied
The Board denied service connection for acid reflux, right and left hip, right and left knee, and right ankle disabilities as the evidence did not support a finding of chronic disability during or related to active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a current diagnosis of any of these conditions at any time during the pendency of the claim, nor was there a nexus between the claimed conditions and service.
