Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for GERD to provide the Veteran with a new examination and obtain additional opinions regarding the nature and etiology of his condition.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to a lack of sufficient direct nexus opinion in the evidence of record, and to address whether the Veteran's GERD was aggravated by his service-connected fibromyalgia.
