Denied
The Board denied an increased disability rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's GERD, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was primarily manifested by persistently recurrent epigastric distress with pyrosis, reflux, substernal pain, sleep disturbance caused by esophageal reflux, and vomiting. However, these symptoms were not productive of severe impairment of health as required for a 60 percent rating.
