Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a gastrointestinal disorder for another VA opinion to determine its etiology, as new evidence has been received.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional error was made in developing the issue on appeal, and no opinion regarding the etiology of GERD was provided despite the presence of relevant medical evidence.
