Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 30 percent rating for service-connected GERD prior to August 12, 2021, but denied a higher than 30 percent initial rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were productive of considerable impairment of health, warranting the 30 percent rating, but not severe enough to warrant a higher rating.
