Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an addendum medical opinion to determine whether the Veteran's hypertension is related to his in-service seizure event.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiner did not opine on whether the June 24, 1977 seizure event caused the Veteran's hypertension, necessitating a remand for an addendum opinion.
