Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a neck disorder, hair loss, PTSD, bilateral foot disorder, bilateral arm numbness, and restless body syndrome due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Examinations were inadequate as they did not address direct service connection or provide etiological opinions, and examinations for the bilateral foot and hair loss disorders were not performed despite evidence suggesting their possible relation to service.
