Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for GERD to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's GERD is related to his military service or aggravated by his service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions provided are inadequate, and a remand is required to address the Veteran's contention that his medication for PTSD with TBI has caused or aggravated his GERD.
