Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to obtain private medical records from Sentara Family Medicine/Bayside Family Practice.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain private medical records from Sentara Family Medicine/ Bayside Family Practice because they are not of record and were reasonably identified prior to the January 2022 rating decision on appeal.
