Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for GERD to obtain additional evidence and a medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea, in-service anxiety, and GERD.
The deciding factor: A VA examination is required due to insufficient competent medical evidence on file to make a decision on the claim.
