Granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's GERD had its onset during his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's GERD had onset in service, and reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
