Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism) to ensure all necessary evidence is obtained and a proper examination is conducted.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including failure to obtain complete official military personnel file and service treatment records, as well as an inadequate VA Gulf War General Medical examination.
