Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for GERD, right hand skin disorder, and left hand skin disorder for further development of medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The October 2019 VA medical opinions are inadequate as they are based on the lack of supporting medical documentation rather than considering the Veteran's particular circumstances or lay evidence.
