Partly granted
The veteran's claims for a compensable evaluation for GERD and service connection for lower lumbar strain were denied. The claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a compensable rating for GERD or service connection for lower lumbar strain, but required further medical guidance on the etiology of sleep apnea.
