Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the condition and her military service or any service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence of record did not establish a nexus between the Veteran's GERD and her military service or any service-connected conditions, as the onset of symptoms was noted to be many years after discharge and there were no in-service complaints or diagnoses related to GERD.
