Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to obtain the Veteran's complete service personnel records and verify any potentially qualifying periods of service.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a duty to assist error, as the record does not contain the Veteran's dates of active duty for training or inactive duty for training, which are needed to determine if there was any qualifying period of service during which the condition may have been incurred in the line of duty.
