Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for IBS with GERD to obtain additional evidence from non-VA providers.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain records from the Veteran's non-VA PCP and other private providers who have treated her for IBS and GERD, as they may contain evidence concerning low ferritin levels or anemia relevant to determining a rating under 38 C.F.R. § 4.114, Diagnostic Code 7346.
