Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for onychomycosis (bilateral toenail fungus) and remanded the claims for GERD, chest pain, and an acquired eye disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's bilateral toenail fungus is related to his service. For other conditions, there was no current diagnosis or functional impairment of earning capacity.
