Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right knee disability and remanded the claim for a stomach disability to include acid reflux/gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of credible evidence linking the claimed conditions to the Veteran's service, including the absence of in-service symptoms and current medical evidence supporting a relationship between the disabilities and service.
