Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with esophagitis, as the evidence did not show that her disability met or more nearly approximated the criteria required for a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD with esophagitis was manifested by at most a documented history without daily symptoms or requirement for daily medication, which did not meet the criteria for an initial compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7206.
