Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a bilateral eye condition and traumatic brain injury due to the need to obtain the Veteran's reserve records, which may provide additional information regarding his status during the relevant time period.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a remand is necessary to associate the Veteran's reserve records with the file, as they could shed light on his status in 1965 and any injuries sustained, including the claimed TBI and eye conditions.
