Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for further evidentiary development, specifically to obtain the Veteran's service treatment records from Fort Belvoir and Andrews Air Force Base.
The deciding factor: The VA claims file does not contain a negative response pertaining to the Veteran's U.S. Air Force Reserve records from his service at Andrews Air Force Base, necessitating a specific request for these outstanding records.
