Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an increased rating for GERD, stating that the symptoms did not show considerable or severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were largely described as intermittent and primarily occurred after meals, and his health impairment due to GERD symptoms is not 'large in extent or degree.'
