The Board granted service connection for PTSD, but remanded the claims for bilateral leg varicose veins and essential tremors for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in at least approximate balance as to the question of nexus, so the Board resolves all doubt in the Veteran's favor and finds that service connection for PTSD is warranted. The opinions provided by the VA examiners were found inadequate for adjudication due to not addressing all relevant theories of entitlement.
