GERD (acid reflux) Board decisions

The appeals for service connection for a right knee disability and increased disability ratings for GERD were dismissed due to the Veteran's death.

All appeals were dismissed because the veteran did not file timely notices of disagreement.

The Board granted secondary service connection for IBS, GERD, and ED due to the veteran's service-connected PTSD with alcohol use disorder and MDD.

The appeal for service connection of GERD was denied because no new and relevant evidence was received. The veteran can submit a Supplemental Claim with new evidence.

The Board remanded all issues for additional development due to inadequate medical opinions and duty-to-assist errors.

The veteran's disability rating for peptic ulcer disease with GERD was increased to 60%. The claims for service connection of erectile dysfunction and insomnia as secondary conditions were remanded.

The Veteran's right ankle disability is service-connected. The claims for migraines, obstructive sleep apnea, and GERD are being sent back for further review.

The veteran's GERD rating was increased to 30% but no higher. The issue of a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis was remanded.

The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) secondary to the veteran's service-connected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

The veteran's rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been increased to 60 percent.
