Granted
The Board granted service connection for Raynaud's disease, chronic tonsillitis, and GERD based on the Veteran's credible reported history of continued symptoms since active duty service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence establishes a nexus between active service and the Veteran's current conditions. The negative nexus opinions do not carry greater probative weight than the Veteran's reported history of continued symptoms.
