Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for diverticulosis to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The opinion provided by the examiner was found inadequate, and an addendum opinion is needed to address whether the Veteran's diverticulosis was caused or aggravated by his service-connected irritable bowel syndrome.
