Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of a compensable rating for intra-abdominal (internal scarring) adhesions status post cesarean section and revision procedure due to a duty to assist error in the August 2025 VA examination.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not evaluate the Veteran's disability under both pre-amended and amended criteria, nor was specific about when the condition/symptoms began.
