Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD and denied service connection for chronic sinusitis, while denying an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction. The remaining claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for GERD based on a nexus to in-service toxic exposure, while chronic sinusitis was not shown to be related to service or toxic exposure.
