Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for heart, upper and lower extremity, bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus disabilities, and TDIU due to insufficient medical evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the requested VA examinations were not adequately completed, and there was no discussion or findings regarding the necessity of examinations in rendering the requested opinions.
