Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for GERD due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and the need for an adequate medical opinion considering in-service toxic exposure.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's GERD, including its relation to in-service toxic exposure and service-connected conditions.
