Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for GERD, but no higher, as the Veteran's symptoms were found to be productive of considerable impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed persistent epigastric distress, dysphagia requiring medication for control, pyrosis, reflux, nausea, vomiting, regurgitation, and substernal pain, which constituted a considerable impairment of health.
