Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 1, 2014, for GERD and service connection for right lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's valid informal claim for benefits submitted within a year of her separation from service and the medical evidence supporting a link between the current disability and her service-connected low back condition.
