Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to an inadequate medical opinion based on inaccurate factual premises.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions are found to be inadequate as they rely on a CT scan of the head that does not exist in the service treatment records, and thus remand is necessary for an additional addendum opinion from a different examiner.
