Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for GERD with IBS, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show considerable or severe impairment of health due to GERD with IBS, and the Veteran's symptoms were more consistent with a 10 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Codes 7319-7346.
