Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various conditions, including PTSD and other psychiatric disorders, hypertension, and musculoskeletal issues, to ensure compliance with duty to assist requirements.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to missing military personnel records and treatment records, as well as the Veteran's good cause for failing to attend scheduled VA examinations.
