Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for chronic gastritis with GERD is granted because the condition first manifested during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms and diagnosis of chronic gastritis with GERD were consistent with his reports at separation and supported by a VA examination shortly after discharge.
