Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for GERD and denied a compensable rating for chronic bronchitis. The remaining claims for service connection were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD was found to be manifested by symptoms that warranted a 10 percent rating, but his chronic bronchitis did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
