Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for GERD is dismissed as the March 2025 rating decision granted the benefit in full. The issues of service connection for hypertension and an eye condition are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The appeal for GERD was dismissed due to a grant by the March 2025 rating decision, while the other issues were remanded due to insufficient medical evidence regarding their relation to service or service-connected conditions.
