Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA opinion as the previous one was deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion was not adequate because it was based solely on the absence of documentation in the service treatment records and did not consider lay statements, leading to a duty to assist error.
