The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for nausea as secondary to service-connected chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but remanded the claims for service connection for a respiratory disorder and GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated intermittent abdominal pain with epigastric fullness akin to that associated with bloating without evidence of a structural gastrointestinal disease, warranting an initial 10 percent rating under DC 7356. The claims for service connection for respiratory disorder and GERD were remanded.
