Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to insufficient evidence and the need for an additional medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion is inadequate as it relies on the absence of documented treatment, which is not sufficient evidence. An addendum opinion is required to address the Veteran's reports of impaired memory, attention, concentration, and executive functioning.
