Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of GERD as secondary to PTSD due to a duty-to-assist error. The Veteran's claim will be reconsidered with an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board found that no adequate nexus opinion has been obtained, necessitating a remand to correct this pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
