Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for GERD, finding that the criteria for a higher rating were not met.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms did not reach the level of 'severe' impairment required for a higher rating.
