Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an evaluation greater than 30 percent for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically the failure to obtain relevant medical records related to an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) test.
