Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matters for an adequate opinion regarding the Veteran's traumatic brain injury and to obtain outstanding medical treatment records.
The deciding factor: The previous opinions did not adequately address the Veteran's contentions or the evidence indicating he had a diagnosed TBI, and VA failed to make reasonable efforts to obtain relevant medical records from the Veteran's identified source.
