Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for further development, including obtaining VA treatment records and identifying non-VA/private medical care providers that have treated the Veteran for his gastrointestinal disability.
The deciding factor: There is a pre-decisional duty to assist error due to missing medical treatment records that need to be associated with the claims file.
