The veteran's claim for service connection for sun avoidance was denied. The claim for IBS was dismissed due to procedural issues, and the claim for gynecomastia was remanded.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the claim due to insufficient evidence and a need for further examination. The Veteran's heartburn with acid reflux, regurgitation of stomach contents into throat, nausea, and vomiting are being considered as related to his service-connected unspecified depressive disorder with anxious distress and alcohol use disorder, but also potentially aggravated by it. Additionally, the Board is requesting an examination to determine if these symptoms are related to his presumed in-service toxic exposure (burn pits).
- Whole decision: Granted
The Board has granted service connection for gastrointestinal problems as a manifestation of a medically unexplained, chronic multi-symptom illness that had its onset during the Veteran's service in Saudi Arabia.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
