Denied
The Board denied service connection for a gastrointestinal disorder, specifically gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as there was no evidence of a current disability and the Veteran's lay statements were not credible.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis of GERD and the Veteran's inconsistent reports regarding his symptoms.
