1Opinion of the Court
NEBEKER, Chief Judge:
A January 5, 1990, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) denied appellant, Buddy L. Brannon, benefits for a hiatal hernia and peptic ulcer disease finding that they were not service connected. Appellant limited his appeal in this Court to the issue of service connection for his peptic ulcer disease (a duodenal ulcer). We hold that the Board’s finding that “in-service epigastric complaints did not represent a chronic stomach disorder” is clearly erroneous and remand the case to the Board for it or a Regional Office to assign the proper disability rating.
