Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory condition (claimed as loss of breath), other than allergic rhinitis and sinusitis, but remanded the claim for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a current disability related to the claimed respiratory condition. For GERD, there were pre-decisional errors that needed correcting before deciding the claim.
