Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension, an initial compensable rating for chronic bronchitis, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disability (TDIU) as additional development is necessary.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations are found to be inadequate, requiring further clarification or new examinations to address the Veteran's claims adequately.
