Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 30 percent from January 23, 2013 for GERD, to include hiatal hernia with esophageal spasms due to a lack of substantial compliance with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the Board finds there has not been substantial compliance with its prior remand instructions regarding the Veteran's GERD disability and associated symptoms.
