Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a higher rating for GERD to correct a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination report did not adequately consider the effects of the Veteran's use of medication on his symptoms, and a new examination is needed to clarify this factor.
