Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected cholelithiasis, status-post cholecystectomy, with GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated persistently recurrent dysphagia, reflux, regurgitation, abdominal pain, and diarrhea productive of considerable impairment of health, warranting a 30 percent rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
