Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of GERD is granted. The evidence was balanced, so the benefit of the doubt was given to the veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's GERD is at least as likely as not due to his service-connected hypertension and the medications taken for it.
