Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a bladder disorder to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing the Veteran's reports of holding urine during deployment and other relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error by failing to obtain a medical opinion that explicitly considers the evidence regarding the onset of symptoms in 2019 and the Veteran's report of holding her urine for extended periods while deployed.
