Denied
The Board denied service connection for Barrett's esophagus disease as it did not have its onset during service and is not otherwise related.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's Barrett's esophagus disease is not causally related to his in-service toxic exposure risk activities, and there is no medical evidence supporting a relationship between the condition and service.
