Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a heart condition to provide the Veteran an adequate VA examination and medical opinion addressing his claimed disability in substantial compliance with previous remand directions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate medical opinions that failed to address all aspects of the claim, including causation and aggravation by service-connected hypertension.
