Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for the service-connected GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated two or more of the symptoms for the 30 percent evaluation of less severity, warranting a 10 percent rating under the pre-amendment criteria.
