Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right shoulder and left knee strain disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's GERD is due to or aggravated by his service-connected right shoulder and left knee strain disabilities, and therefore the benefit of the doubt is resolved in favor of the Veteran.
