Granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the presumption that it was aggravated during active service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD clearly and unmistakably pre-existed her service, but there is clear and unmistakable evidence of aggravation beyond its natural progression during service.
