Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a liver condition to correct a duty to assist error by failing to obtain an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate medical opinions regarding the etiology and pathophysiology of the Veteran's claimed liver condition, as well as whether it was caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability.
