Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected GERD, as the evidence did not show symptoms that produced considerable impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran consistently denied active symptoms to treatment providers and his statements during VA examinations were inconsistent with those reports. No medical professional indicated that the Veteran's GERD symptoms produced a considerable or severe impairment of health.
