Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating of over 60 percent for GERD and esophagectomy residuals, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate the criteria required for a rating greater than 60 percent under the applicable diagnostic codes.
