Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for asthma was granted. The claim for a gastroesophageal disorder, including acid reflux and GERD, was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor regarding his asthma claim due to conflicting medical opinions being in relative equipoise.
