Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a compensable evaluation of service-connected pseudofolliculitis barbae and for service connection for chronic allergic rhinitis, migraines headaches, left foot bunions (hallux valgus), right foot bunions (hallux valgus), and tinnitus to ensure proper development.
The deciding factor: The Board remands the claims due to outstanding relevant private medical records from an incarcerated veteran's correctional facility and a need for additional evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's claimed conditions.
