Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's gastrointestinal symptoms and bilateral ankle and foot pain.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to missing service treatment records, potential undiagnosed illness or MUCMI, and to obtain additional evidence from correctional facilities.
