Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any diagnosed stomach disorder or residuals of in-service appendicitis.
The deciding factor: Good cause was shown why the Veteran did not appear for his VA examination, and an examination is necessary to obtain an opinion regarding the etiology of any diagnosed stomach disability.
