Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA medical opinion to clarify whether the Veteran's gastroesophageal reflux disease was aggravated by his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination report did not adequately address whether the Veteran's GERD was aggravated by his PTSD, so another opinion is needed.
