Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and bladder cancer, as well as additional compensation benefits for the Veteran's spouse, due to a need for further medical evidence.
The deciding factor: Further medical opinions are necessary to address inconsistencies in the examination reports and to cure pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
