Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae and service connection for hypertension to ensure substantial compliance with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as the examiner's opinions did not fully address the criteria set forth in the prior remand, particularly regarding systemic therapy for pseudofolliculitis barbae and a comprehensive opinion on the etiology of hypertension.
