Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of a gastrointestinal condition, including IBS and diverticulosis, due to an incomplete medical opinion. The Board will seek further clarification on the veteran's conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was incomplete and did not adequately address all the veteran's gastrointestinal conditions or reconcile discrepancies in the record.
