Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD due to an inadequate VA examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination and September 2024 addendum opinion are confusing and require clarification as to which symptoms the Veteran has had during the period on appeal, rendering them inadequate.
