Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the Veteran's symptoms of dysphagia, pyrosis, reflux and or regurgitation, substernal pain, and sleep disturbances.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's GERD symptoms nearly approximated considerable impairment of health, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7346.
