Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for migraines, GERD, and IBS as secondary to other service-connected conditions due to the Veteran's failure to attend scheduled VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the Veteran has provided a good cause explanation for not attending his scheduled VA examinations and must be given an opportunity to attend them.
