Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a secondary service connection analysis of primary open angle glaucoma due to hypertension, specifically requesting an opinion on aggravation.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address whether the Veteran's glaucoma was aggravated by his service-connected hypertension, which is required for a complete secondary service connection analysis.
