Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for acute tonsillitis follicular to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and ensure a new medical opinion is obtained.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's report of continuous symptoms, which are relevant in determining service connection.
