Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for GERD to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The opinion is inadequate as it failed to address the Veteran's lay statements and did not provide a medical analysis with supporting data regarding the relationship between the Veteran's conceded TERA exposures and his GERD.
