Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension, fibromyalgia, GERD, and bowel incontinence as secondary to PTSD with persistent MDD with anxious distress due to insufficient medical evidence.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence was provided to determine if the Veteran's claimed conditions were caused or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
