Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a stomach condition to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error in failing to obtain an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinions were inadequate as they did not provide rationale and failed to address all of the Veteran's contentions, including his toxic exposure and umbilical hernia repair.
