Granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for gastrointestinal problems, resolving any reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of reflux, substernal pain, and sleep disturbances closely approximate to two or more symptoms for the 30 percent rating under DC 7346, warranting a 10 percent rating.
