Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of peripheral vascular disease is remanded because the VA did not obtain an adequate examination to determine if military service aggravated a pre-existing condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner failed to address whether the Veteran's military service, including hazardous exposures, aggravated his pre-existing medical condition.
