Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected GERD, but not higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was manifested by symptoms of persistently recurrent epigastric distress with dysphagia, pyrosis, and regurgitation, accompanied by substernal, shoulder and arm pain, productive of considerable impairment of health.
