Denied
The Board denied service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, bilateral plantar fasciitis, and a temporomandibular disorder, including TMJ, as the evidence did not support current diagnoses or functional impairment during the pendency of the claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current disability or in-service incurrence that was related to the claimed conditions, thus service connection was not warranted under direct service connection theory.
