Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating greater than 10 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as they were not productive of considerable or severe impairment of health, and there was no material weight loss, vomiting, hematemesis, or melena with moderate anemia.
