Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for GERD and service connection for OSA, secondary to the Veteran's insomnia with major depressive disorder and foot condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance that the Veteran's GERD symptoms were productive of considerable impairment of health, and there was reasonable doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran regarding his OSA claim.
