Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left ankle disability, an earlier effective date of May 24, 2021, and a 10 percent rating for GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's continuous pursuit of the claim and new evidence regarding his left ankle injury supported the readjudication of the claim. The symptoms of pyrosis, regurgitation, and reflux met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under the old and revised rating schedules.
