Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for GERD was partially granted. The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent disabling prior to April 8, 2022, but granted a 60 percent rating from April 8, 2022.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the veteran's GERD symptoms were not severe enough to warrant a higher rating before April 8, 2022, but met the criteria for a 60 percent rating afterward.
