Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a gastrointestinal disorder other than IBS and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 medical opinion and the February 2025 addendum are found to be inadequate, requiring additional information regarding the Veteran's reported symptoms and potential nexus to service or other exposures.
