The Board has remanded the case for additional development to address service connection for food allergies and TDIU claims, as the VA failed to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding these issues.
The deciding factor: The VA did not secure a sufficient medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's food allergies are related to his military service or secondary to any service-connected disabilities.
