Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, a lower back disability, and high blood pressure for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board did not address whether the Veteran's high blood pressure was secondary to his service-connected obstructive sleep apnea and noted inadequacies in the evidence regarding the etiology of the disabilities.
