Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a colon condition is remanded. The Board found that the Veteran should have been given an examination to determine the nature and cause of his colon condition before making a decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found a duty to assist error occurred prior to the July 2024 rating decision on appeal, as the Veteran was not afforded a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed colon condition.
