Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for tinnitus and service connection for PTSD, back condition, migraines, psychiatric disorder, and irritable bowel syndrome. The back condition, migraines, and psychiatric disorder issues were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of current disability or a link to service for the claimed conditions, except that further medical evaluation is needed for the back condition, migraines, and psychiatric disorder claims.
