Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a compensable rating for gastritis due to an unclear assessment of the Veteran's symptoms without medication.
The deciding factor: The September 2021 VA examination did not adequately assess the severity of the Veteran's gastritis disability, as it relied on ameliorative effects of medication which are not considered in the pre-May 19, 2024 criteria for rating digestive system disabilities.
