Denied
The Board denied service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as it was not caused by or aggravated by a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that GERD is due to or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected duodenitis, and there is no competent medical opinion linking GERD to any aspect of his military service.
