Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for a 60 percent rating for GERD, finding that the veteran's symptoms did not warrant such a rating before March 17, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's GERD met the criteria for a 60 percent rating at any time during the appeal period prior to March 17, 2022.
