Denied
The Board denied service connection for GERD with stricture of the esophagus, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions, based on an accurate medical history, concluded that there was no nexus between the Veteran's GERD with stricture of the esophagus and his military service.
