Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for GERD, but no higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptomatology more nearly approximated persistently recurrent epigastric distress with dysphagia, pyrosis, and regurgitation, as well as sleep disturbance and nausea; however, it did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
