The Board denied service connection for hyperlipidemia and remanded the claims for periodic limb movement disorder, sleep condition, gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, upper respiratory disability, elevated blood pressure, elevated prostate condition, fatigue, right hip condition, dizziness, fainting, or loss of consciousness, pneumonia/dyspnea, and skin, malignant neoplasm.

The deciding factor: The Board found that hyperlipidemia is a laboratory finding without functional impairment. For the other claims, an adequate medical examination was not conducted prior to the initial decision, necessitating remand for further development.
