Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain additional records from the Veteran's post-active service in the Air Force Reserves and private healthcare providers, as well as any outstanding VA treatment records.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the failure of the Board to fulfill its duty to assist by not requesting certain military personnel records and other relevant medical records.
