Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD, service connection for vertigo and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and remanded the claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for lateral epicondylitis of the left elbow.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disabilities or a nexus to service for the claimed conditions, and the Veteran's symptoms were stable throughout the appeal period.
