Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an additional VA medical opinion to determine the etiology of the Veteran's irritable bowel syndrome, including whether it is secondary to her service-connected unspecified anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA examiner did not address whether the Veteran's irritable bowel syndrome is secondary to her service-connected unspecified anxiety disorder or if there was any worsening due to that condition.
