Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for epidermoid tumor, hearing loss, vision loss, and stroke due to an inadequate examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as there has not been substantial compliance with previous remand directives, specifically regarding obtaining a medical opinion for the Veteran's claims.
