Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for GERD, but no higher. The appeal seeking an increased rating for LUE radiculopathy was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms were found to be productive of considerable impairment of health, warranting a 30 percent evaluation under DC 7346. The issue of entitlement to an increased rating for LUE radiculopathy was dismissed as it had already been decided in a previous Board decision.
