Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for obesity to obtain an examination and opinion on whether it is related to any service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: A remand is warranted to cure a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as no medical opinion has been obtained regarding whether the Veteran's obesity is secondary to his service-connected disabilities.
