The Board denied a rating in excess of 40 percent for voiding dysfunction and remanded the issue of service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's voiding dysfunction required the use of an appliance or wearing absorbent materials more than four times per day, which is necessary for a 60 percent rating.
