Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for essential tremors to correct errors in fulfilling the duty to assist, specifically related to an inadequate examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and opinions were found to be inadequate due to a lack of consideration of the Veteran's reports regarding the onset and development of his symptoms, as well as the need for an opinion on whether the tremors constitute a MUCMI.
