Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of a right ankle fracture and gastroesophageal reflux disease, but denied service connection for gallbladder removal residuals to include as secondary to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence supporting the existence of current disabilities, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and a causal relationship between the disabilities and the Veteran's active duty service.
