Granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's GERD had its onset in service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's gastrointestinal symptoms and his time in service, particularly given his credible testimony of continuous symptoms since service.
