Granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as secondary to the service-connected left knee disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current diagnosis of GERD and that chronic use of NSAIDs for the left knee disability has caused GERD.
