Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for a higher rating of GERD to obtain a VA medical addendum opinion addressing the severity of the condition with and without medication.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous examinations did not adequately address the ameliorative effects of medication on the Veteran's GERD.
