Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for metabolic encephalopathy to obtain an addendum opinion regarding whether it was caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected Parkinson's disease.
The deciding factor: The VA had not complied with its duty to assist the Veteran, as the nexus opinion did not address the secondary theory of entitlement related to service-connected Parkinson's disease.
