Granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD and sinusitis, secondary to GERD, based on the evidence supporting a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service symptoms and current conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate balance that the Veteran's GERD is a result of his military service and that the Veteran's sinusitis is at least as likely as not due to or result of his now service-connected GERD.
