Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for entitlement to service connection for irritable bowel syndrome due to an inadequate May 2023 VA medical examination.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical examination is found to be inadequate as it did not consider all relevant evidence and provided a conclusory opinion, necessitating a remand for an addendum opinion.
