Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was manifested by two or more symptoms for the 30 percent evaluation of less severity, but there was no evidence to demonstrate that it met the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Codes 7206 and 7346.
