Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to obtain additional evidence and an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The record does not contain an adequate opinion on whether the Veteran's GERD was caused or aggravated by his service-connected lumbosacral strain, nor is there a complete set of military personnel records. Therefore, remand is necessary for further development.
