Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a gastrointestinal condition and bilateral foot condition to ensure that VA's duty to assist is properly fulfilled.
The deciding factor: The claims were remanded due to inadequate medical opinions regarding the Veteran's reported symptoms and their relation to service, as well as potential ongoing conditions not fully addressed in previous examinations.
