Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for the service-connected GERD but denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated a 30 percent disability rating, but there was no claim or entitlement to benefits prior to November 29, 2023.
