Denied
The Board denied entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as the evidence did not show symptoms productive of considerable impairment of health or severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was found to be productive of infrequent episodes of epigastric distress, pyrosis, and regurgitation with no evidence of persistent symptoms that would warrant a higher rating.
