Granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected left shoulder impingement syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise that the Veteran's GERD is proximately due to his service-connected left shoulder disability, and all reasonable doubt has been resolved in favor of the Veteran.
