Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected GERD, effective February 12, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's GERD was productive of considerable impairment of health, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 7346. A higher rating was not warranted as there was no evidence of severe impairment of health or other symptoms meeting the criteria for a higher rating.
