Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a heart disability to obtain an addendum opinion that addresses all relevant evidence, including information submitted by the Veteran regarding his duties as a diver and welder.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion was deemed insufficient due to its conclusory nature and lack of adequate rationale addressing all evidence of record.
