Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a vestibular and/or balance disorder to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities indirectly cause or aggravate his claimed balance issues.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not address whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities indirectly caused or aggravated his claimed balance issues, which is necessary for a complete evaluation of the claim.
