Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for GERD was denied, but the claim for service connection for chronic kidney disease was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating for GERD and remanded the chronic kidney disease claim due to lack of medical opinion on its etiology.
