DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and headaches, finding no current diagnosis of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current disability or a nexus to service, particularly given the Veteran's exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
