Denied
The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as the evidence did not show symptoms productive of considerable or severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms, while causing some impairment, did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7346.
