Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for increased disability ratings for GERD and narcolepsy due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examination reports are deemed inadequate as they do not provide sufficient information regarding the severity of the Veteran's conditions, particularly concerning dysphagia in relation to her GERD and the relationship between excessive daytime sleepiness and narcolepsy.
