Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for ulcerative colitis to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors related to obtaining missing records and providing adequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Incomplete rationales related to toxic exposures do not permit the Board to make an informed decision, making the opinions inadequate.
