The Veteran's right wrist joint pains have been found to be due to an undiagnosed illness, resulting in a grant of service connection. However, there is no evidence of a chronic condition associated with esophagitis reflux during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: There was no objective evidence of a chronic gastrointestinal condition associated with the esophagus or gastrointestinal tract.
