Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a disability rating higher than 30% for GERD, stating that the evidence did not support a more severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing symptoms such as esophageal stricture, vomiting, weight loss, hematemesis, or melena with anemia.
