Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's GERD based on persistent recurrent epigastric distress with dysphagia, pyrosis and regurgitation, accompanied by substernal or arm or shoulder pain, which significantly impacted his health.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of GERD were found to result in considerable impairment of health despite the use of medication, as supported by medical opinions and statements from the Veteran.
