Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of Crohn's disease to obtain a medical opinion regarding its etiology in relation to the Veteran's Gulf War service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not consider whether the Veteran's Crohn's Disease could be a qualifying chronic condition under 38 C.F.R. § 3.317, which necessitates an additional opinion.
