Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but denied service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that GERD began during active service or was related to an in-service injury, while the Veteran's PTSD symptoms were found to be equivalent to those required for a 70 percent rating.
