Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for a higher rating and an earlier effective date for GERD due to errors in the VA examination process.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examinations did not account for the ameliorative effects of medication, which is required by caselaw.
