Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of tinnitus to correct duty to assist errors, including obtaining a medical opinion and outstanding VA treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors regarding obtaining a medical opinion on whether tinnitus is secondary to service-connected disabilities and obtaining relevant VA treatment records.
