Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a kidney disorder is remanded. The Board needs more information to decide if the veteran's kidney disorder is related to his service-connected hypertension, which was caused by Agent Orange exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examiner's opinion did not provide a thorough rationale and that a theory of secondary service connection had not been addressed.
