The Board has remanded several claims for service connection due to the Veteran's contentions and the time since his last examination. The hearing loss claim is remanded for a new VA examination, while the other claims are remanded for obtaining complete VA treatment records from the early 1990s to May 2008.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's contentions and time since his last examination warranted additional evidence and an examination for several service connection claims.
