Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 60 percent for the Veteran's service-connected gastroesophageal reflux disease, finding that the symptoms more nearly approximated severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms were productive of severe impairment of health, as supported by his lay statements and medical opinions.
