Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) for the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms, including persistent pyrosis/heartburn, reflux and regurgitation, some sleep disturbance, chest or throat discomfort, infrequent epigastric distress, and continuous use of medications, warranted a 30 percent rating but not more.
