Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to obtain a medical opinion on whether the veteran's hypertension is related to his military service, specifically focusing on elevated blood pressure readings during his first period of active duty.
The deciding factor: The Court found that previous examinations did not adequately address the veteran's elevated blood pressure readings during his first period of service.
