Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for GERD to obtain additional medical opinions regarding its etiology, including whether it is related to service or caused/aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence in the record to determine if the Veteran's GERD is related to his military service or service-connected conditions, specifically sinusitis.
