Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion that complies with its previous remand instructions, specifically addressing the Veteran's reports of in-service symptoms and the underlying medical principles specific to his case.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions were found insufficient due to their failure to address the Veteran's reported in-service injury and symptoms, as well as the need for a discussion of the underlying medical principles specific to this case.
