Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as it requires additional evidence and an addendum opinion.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner's opinions did not adequately address all relevant evidence, particularly a December 2022 statement from a VA provider suggesting a possible link between the Veteran's IBS and his diabetes mellitus or its medications.
