Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain a more adequate VA opinion regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's GERD, including whether it is related to service or toxic exposure.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA opinion was found inadequate due to lack of comprehensive medical rationale addressing the specific questions posed by the Board.
