Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of the 10% rating for GERD and the 20% rating for right knee traumatic degenerative joint disease, while denying a higher rating for both conditions.
The deciding factor: The reduction in ratings was improper as there was no material improvement in the Veteran's condition that warranted the decrease in compensation.
