Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for GERD and service connection for glaucoma, while remanding the claim for service connection for a bilateral eye disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD did not meet the criteria for an increased rating, and there was no evidence of a current glaucoma disability. The Board also found that the Veteran's symptoms were adequately addressed by the existing rating criteria.
