Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for additional development to ensure compliance with previous remand instructions, specifically addressing the Veteran's lay statements and considering the lack of documented treatment in service.
The deciding factor: The opinions remain inadequate as they relied on the absence of medical records and improperly discounted the Veteran's lay statements.
