Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for hypertension to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, requiring an adequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: The January 2021 VA medical opinion is found inadequate due to its failure to address relevant in-service evidence and thus requires further development.
