Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of December 21, 2021, for the award of a 10 percent rating for GERD and remanded other issues related to GERD, PTSD, and service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's GERD met the criteria for a 10 percent rating from December 21, 2021, due to persistently recurrent epigastric distress and regurgitation, which had worsened since his initial diagnosis in the 2000s.
