Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the evidence not demonstrating a considerable or severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms, while significant, did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under either the old or new diagnostic codes.
