Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, right hand tremors, left hand tremors, gout, and chronic kidney disease to obtain outstanding VA treatment records and provide a medical examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to potential favorable evidence not adequately addressed by the RO and inextricably intertwined issues.
