Granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's symptoms started in service and a VA examiner opined that the GERD is directly related to service.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the evidence persuasively demonstrates that GERD is related to service, meeting all elements of service connection.
