Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for residuals of heat injury for a VA medical opinion that complies with prior remand instructions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the Board's failure to ensure substantial compliance with its previous remand order, as it relied on an opinion that did not address the Veteran's testimony regarding his symptoms and their impact since service.
