Granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD as secondary to the Veteran's already service-connected irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence reasonably reflects that the Veteran's GERD is aggravated by his service-connected IBS, warranting a grant of service connection.
