Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for cervical strain, major depressive disorder, right knee instability, and tinnitus due to an incomplete record of the Veteran's military service history.
The deciding factor: Further development is required to obtain additional medical evidence and clarify the Veteran's military status during his reserve duty periods.
