Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and GERD, finding the evidence to be in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's current diagnoses are related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record reflects that the Veteran's GERD was caused or aggravated by his now service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder.
