Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's GERD, finding that the symptoms more closely approximate the criteria required for this rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements and VA examination reports demonstrated symptoms of dysphagia, pyrosis, regurgitation, substernal pain, shoulder pain, and sleep disturbances, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 7346.
