Denied
The Board denied an increased disability rating for GERD beyond 30 percent because the veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD did not manifest with symptoms of pain, vomiting, material weight loss and hematemesis or melena with moderate anemia; or other symptom combinations productive of severe impairment of health.
