Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD to ensure a more thorough evaluation under the updated criteria.
The deciding factor: The August 2021 and October 2022 VA examinations were found inadequate, as they did not document findings through required diagnostic imaging studies nor address the ameliorative effects of medication on the Veteran's condition.
