Dismissed
The appeal for an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for GERD was dismissed due to a procedural defect.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA Form 10182 was invalid as it was redundant and merely effectuating the Board's grant, thus not properly appealing into the AMA system.
