The Board has remanded the cases for further examination and opinion regarding service connection, as the evidence is not in balance and there is no reasonable doubt to resolve in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The claims are remanded due to the need for additional medical opinions on the etiology of the disabilities at issue.
