Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal to the agency of original jurisdiction for an additional VA examination and medical opinion regarding the severity of the Veteran's service-connected GERD, as well as a retrospective opinion on the impact of the Veteran's disability without medication.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the need for a more comprehensive assessment of the Veteran's GERD under updated rating criteria and in the absence of medications.
