Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome and gastroesophageal reflux disease to the AOJ for further development, including obtaining a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to incomplete military personnel records and service treatment records, as well as the need for a VA examination to determine the etiology of the claimed disabilities.
