Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent evaluation for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the Veteran's symptoms of persistently recurrent epigastric distress, dysphagia, pyrosis, and regurgitation, which caused considerable impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's GERD symptoms, including substernal pain, sleep disturbances, daytime fatigue, and loss of work time, warranted a 30 percent rating under the criteria for considerable impairment of health.
