Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of phlebitis and thrombophlebitis, secondary to residuals of pericarditis, due to a lack of compliance with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the RO did not substantially comply with prior remand directives regarding an addendum opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's phlebitis/thrombophlebitis in relation to his service-connected heart disability.
