Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied service connection for hepatitis C and remanded the claim for a heart disability due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of the Veteran's claims, as there was no current diagnosis of hepatitis C and the etiology of his heart disability could not be adequately determined without further medical opinion.
