Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a gastrointestinal condition to correct a duty-to-assist error and ensure all relevant facts are considered in providing a nexus opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an unclear pre-decisional duty-to-assist error regarding the adequacy of a December 2018 VA examination, specifically its consideration of in-service medical treatment for stomach pain and gastroenteritis.
