Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for GERD was granted because the symptoms began during active service and have continued until the present.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's lay statements about his symptoms were credible and established a nexus between his in-service incurrence and current diagnosis of GERD.
