Dismissed
The appeal with respect to the determination that a duty to assist error has been identified during the higher-level review for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The appeal was premature as the AOJ did not adjudicate the claim of service connection for GERD in the higher-level review rating decision on appeal.
