Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of chronic renal disease, to include stage 3 renal failure, due to a need for an addendum medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not substantially comply with the previous remand directives by failing to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's kidney disease.
