Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for stricture of the esophagus, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA medical opinion stated that the Veteran's esophageal stricture was not related to in-service TERA, and there is no other evidence to contradict this conclusion.
