Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome and sinusitis due to deficiencies in the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a remand is needed to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, as the negative findings on VA examinations were primarily based on subjective symptoms without objective indicators, and there are relevant private medical records not considered by the AOJ.
