Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 50 percent for adjustment disorder but denied a higher rating for GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's occupational and social impairment due to his psychiatric disability resulted in reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 50 percent rating. However, the symptoms related to his GERD did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
