Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for an initial compensable rating and earlier effective date for irritable bowel syndrome due to a need for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The prior VA examination did not adequately address the severity of the Veteran's IBS based on the lay and medical evidence of record, necessitating a new examination.
