Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a TBI to provide the Veteran with an additional opportunity to attend a VA examination.
The deciding factor: A more robust analysis of the etiology of the Veteran's TBI is needed, and the Veteran failed to show for scheduled examinations without good cause.
