Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to provide the Veteran with a VA examination in order to evaluate the current severity of GERD with hernia hiatal and gastritis, as well as the medical significance of submitted lay statement and treatment records.
The deciding factor: The June 2022 VA examination was deemed inadequate, and the Board cannot fully evaluate the Veteran's contention without a new examination or supplemental opinion.
