Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for hypertensive vascular disease due to a lack of substantial compliance with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: The addendum opinion was found inadequate as it did not fully address the Veteran's reported symptoms and medical history, particularly regarding his headaches in 1978 that subsided after taking blood pressure medication.
