Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for a higher rating of GERD due to errors in the VA examination process. The case will be reconsidered with new evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examinations did not account for the ameliorative effects of medication, which is required by caselaw.
