Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD and irritable bowel syndrome, both on the basis of secondary service connection. The effective date for asthma was set to April 28, 2022, and a 10 percent rating was assigned.
The deciding factor: Service connection for GERD and irritable bowel syndrome was granted based on their relationship with the Veteran's service-connected conditions and exposure during his deployment in Djibouti. The effective date for asthma was set to April 28, 2022, as that is when the claim was received.
