Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded for further development, including a new examination to address the Veteran's GERD symptoms and their effects on his ability to work.
The deciding factor: The Board must remand the case due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the effects of medication on the severity of the Veteran's GERD symptoms and potential aggravation of a mental illness by the service-connected condition.
