Granted
The Veteran's claim for a higher rating of 30 percent for GERD was granted. The Board found that the symptoms cause considerable impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that the symptoms of persistently recurrent epigastric distress, reflux, regurgitation, and pain in the shoulder were productive of considerable impairment of health.
