Partly granted
The Veteran's GERD was granted a 30 percent rating, while the left ankle strain was denied an increased rating between January 25, 2022, and June 8, 2024, but granted a 20 percent rating from June 8, 2024, forward.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD met the criteria for considerable impairment of health, warranting a 30 percent rating. The left ankle strain did not meet the criteria for a higher rating between January 25, 2022, and June 8, 2024, but warranted a 20 percent rating from June 8, 2024, forward.
