Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) because the VA examination was inadequate. A new examination is needed to fairly resolve the issue.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner failed to comprehensively address key medical reports, leading to an inaccurate factual premise.
