Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for a higher disability rating for GERD, concluding that the symptoms did not constitute a considerable impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported symptoms without consideration to the ameliorative effects of medication do not constitute a considerable impairment to the Veteran's health but are of lesser severity.
