Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for GERD, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD symptoms were found to be more closely approximated by the criteria for a 10 percent rating than those required for a higher rating under DC 7346.
