Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various conditions to correct duty-to-assist errors, as the prior VA examinations were found inadequate due to reliance on inaccurate information or failure to address relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: A remand is required to obtain an opinion which addresses all periods of service and considers the Veteran's competent lay statements regarding onset and continuity of symptoms for each condition.
