Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's GERD, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating under either the old or new criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as he had not been shown to have dysphagia or difficulty swallowing, which are required for a 30 percent rating.
