Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the veteran's GERD, which is currently rated at 30 percent. The decision was based on the evidence showing that the veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's symptoms were productive of considerable (not severe) impairment of health.
