Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of hypertension to the agency of original jurisdiction for a more adequate medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinions were inadequate as they failed to address the Veteran's assertions regarding the relationship between his back disability, pain, obesity, and hypertension.
