Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for GERD and tinnitus was granted, but denied for gout of the bilateral feet and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the persuasive weight of the evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's GERD and tinnitus and his service, while the evidence weighed against a connection for gout and hearing loss.
