Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to obtain a new examination as the previous one was based on an inaccurate factual premise.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examination is inadequate because it did not address private treatment records that demonstrate diagnosis and treatment for GERD, leading to a remand for a new examination.
