Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected GERD and dismissed his claim for a total rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD did not more nearly approximate symptoms that were productive of considerable impairment of health, and he failed to submit requested information and releases necessary to properly adjudicate the TDIU claim.
