Granted
The Board granted an initial 60 percent rating for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the severity of symptoms including pain and vomiting, which more nearly approximated the criteria required for a 60 percent evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms have more nearly approximated the criteria for an increased 60 percent disability rating due to severe impairment of health from gastrointestinal symptoms that include pain and vomiting.
