Dismissed
The appeal for an increased compensable rating for GERD was dismissed due to a procedural defect. The claims for service connection for metatarsalgia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and an eating disorder were denied as the evidence did not support a finding of a current disability related to active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability of metatarsalgia, OSA, or an eating disorder that was related to his active duty service. Additionally, the appeal for an increased rating for GERD was dismissed due to a procedural defect.
