Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD and remanded the claims for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, a back disability, and sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as there was no evidence of esophageal stricture causing dysphagia requiring dilatation. The other claims were remanded due to inadequate VA examinations.
