Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to assess the nature and etiology of the Veteran's irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) due to a lack of proper notification for a scheduled examination.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there was a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not properly notifying the Veteran of his scheduled VA examination, necessitating another opportunity for him to be examined.
