Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for hypertension to obtain additional records from the West Los Angeles VAMC prior to August 1998.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to obtain potentially relevant medical records to determine if the Veteran's hypertension manifested within one year of discharge to support a presumptive service connection claim.
