The Board denied service connection for tinea pedis, left wrist disability, asthmatic bronchitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as the evidence did not support a finding of a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examiner opined that there was no nexus between the Veteran's tinea pedis and his TERA, and the Board found this opinion to be well-reasoned. For the left wrist disability, there was no evidence of a current diagnosis. The claims for asthmatic bronchitis and GERD were remanded due to inadequate VA examinations.
