Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a compensable rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to schedule an in-person or telehealth examination to reassess the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's competent lay statements regarding her IBS symptoms and there were discrepancies between the examiner's findings and the Veteran's treatment records.
