Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to report for a VA examination without good cause, and his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
