Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a cervical spine condition was dismissed due to a claims processing defect. Service connection for GERD was granted, and the claim for erectile dysfunction with hypogonadism was remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The decision on GERD was based on evidence showing an approximate balance that the Veteran's GERD is related to his active service.
