Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for irritable bowel syndrome as additional medical evidence is needed.
The deciding factor: The opinions in the August and September 2025 medical opinions are found insufficient regarding whether the Veteran's IBS symptoms are secondary to or otherwise aggravated by his service-connected psychiatric condition due to internal inconsistencies.
