Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion to address evidence not considered in the previous decision.
The deciding factor: The examiner's previous opinion did not adequately consider relevant service records and lay statements, leading to an inadequate assessment of the Veteran's claim.
