Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of digestive conditions and a cervical spine condition. The Board needs more information about the veteran's medical records and potential toxic exposures.
The deciding factor: The Board needs to obtain all relevant private treatment records, determine in-service toxic exposures, and get new medical opinions on the causes of the claimed conditions.
