Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a pulmonary disorder and vertigo to obtain additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record raises the reasonable possibility that the Veteran's breathing symptoms may be connected to his service, and an adequate opinion is needed regarding whether his vertigo is secondary to his service-connected tinnitus.
