Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for chronic multiple joint pain, hypertension, and low back disorder to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence of record to make a decision on the claims, specifically regarding the etiology of the conditions in relation to TERA exposure.
