Partly granted
The Board granted a new and relevant evidence to readjudicate the claim for Barrett's esophagus, and also granted an initial rating of 30 percent for GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran submitted new and relevant evidence that linked Barrett's esophagus to service-connected GERD, allowing for a higher initial rating for GERD based on the severity of symptoms during the appeal period.
