Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent initial rating for GERD and service connection for migraine headaches as secondary to posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of GERD did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but his migraine headaches were linked to his service-connected PTSD.
