Remanded (sent back)
The claim for a higher rating for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome is sent back to the VA for further review. The Board needs more information about the severity of GERD without medication.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded the case because it lacked sufficient information on the severity of the Veteran's GERD symptoms without medication.
