Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an increased disability rating for hypertension and service connection for coronary artery disease to allow for additional development of the record.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions are inadequate, and there is a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not obtaining necessary treatment records and adequate medical opinions.
