Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for GERD to obtain an adequate etiological opinion regarding whether the Veteran's GERD had its clinical onset during service or is related to any incident of service, including his reported in-service symptoms.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not provide a sufficient opinion on the relationship between the Veteran's GERD and his in-service symptoms, necessitating a remand for additional development.
