The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 60 percent for Crohn's disease and TDIU prior to January 9, 2025 due to deficiencies in the medical opinions provided.
The deciding factor: The examiners failed to adequately address whether the Veteran's Crohn's disease was pronounced resulting in marked malnutrition, anemia, and general debility or serious complications as liver abscess from May 2003 to the present. Additionally, there is no indication that the examiners considered all relevant evidence.
