Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for a compensable rating for adenocarcinoma in situ of uterus/cervix and service connection for GERD. The Veteran's private medical records, including December 2022 PAP smear results, and a new VA examination opinion on GERD are needed.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded the claims due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically the failure to obtain relevant private medical records and a necessary VA examination opinion.
