Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for GERD with Barrett's esophagitis, finding that the Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for considerable impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated the criteria for a 30 percent rating under DC 7346, based on a combination of symptoms productive of considerable impairment of health.
