Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of GERD to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's GERD and their service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: A remand is required as the May 2023 VA examination did not adequately address the Veteran's submitted medical article or provide a specific opinion on aggravation due to service-connected disabilities.
