Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for GERD but remanded the claim for service connection for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was found to be manifested by persistently recurring epigastric distress and pyrosis, which warranted a 10 percent rating. The claim for service connection for sinusitis was remanded due to unclear medical evidence regarding its diagnosis and etiology.
