Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease with hiatal hernia and remanded the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, as they were not productive of considerable or severe impairment of health.
