Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher rating of GERD is sent back to the VA for further examination. The VA needs to conduct another medical exam to assess the severity of the veteran's GERD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that previous examinations were inadequate because they did not address the veteran's reported symptoms and their impact on his ability to work.
