Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for GERD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found no considerable impairment of health due to GERD based on VA examination reports and clinical evidence, which were silent for GERD-related complaints or treatment.
