Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher disability rating for GERD was granted at 60%, but the claim for a separate rating for an acquired psychiatric disability secondary to GERD was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise regarding the severity of the veteran's GERD symptoms, leading to a 60% rating.
