Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an increased disability rating for GERD was denied for the period before April 22, 2022, but granted for a 60% rating starting from that date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms and need for continuous medication warranted a higher rating effective April 22, 2022.
