Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for GERD from October 15, 2024, and denied a compensable rating for hypertension. Sleep apnea was granted service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of a 10 percent rating for GERD based on persistent symptoms, but not enough to warrant a higher rating. The Veteran's hypertension did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating. Service connection for sleep apnea was granted due to its onset during active service.
