The Board has granted a 10 percent disability rating for the veteran's pylorospasm, finding that his condition more nearly approximates the criteria for this evaluation. The next higher rating of 30 percent is not warranted due to lack of recurrent symptoms and ulcer therapy requirements.
The deciding factor: The veteran's pylorospasm was found to be manifested by intermittent vomiting of blood and some weight loss, which aligns with the criteria for a 10 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 7306. The next higher rating is not warranted due to lack of recurrent symptoms and ulcer therapy requirements.
