The veteran's claim for service connection for unspecified anxiety disorder and GERD was granted. The claim for migraines with migraine variants was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in at least approximate balance as to whether the Veteran has a current diagnosis of unspecified anxiety disorder that is the result of events during his period of active service, and similarly for GERD being proximately due to the service-connected anxiety disorder.
