Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as the evidence does not support a finding that the condition is related to active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions provided did not find a relationship between the Veteran's GERD and his active-duty service, and the Board found these opinions more persuasive than the Veteran's lay statements.
