Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for GERD from March 13, 2016, but denied a higher rating during the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was manifested by dysphagia and pyrosis, but did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to persistent recurrent epigastric distress with dysphagia, pyrosis, and regurgitation accompanied by substernal or arm or shoulder pain, productive of considerable impairment of health.
