Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension and hyperthyroidism due to a duty-to-assist error, as relevant private treatment records from the Veteran's endocrinologist have not been obtained.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain outstanding private medical records and an addendum opinion that reviews these records.
