Partly granted
The veteran is granted a 30% rating for GERD with Barrett's esophagus and hiatal hernia. The claim for a separate evaluation for insomnia disorder is remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximate the criteria for a 30 percent rating under DC 7346.
