Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder and heart conditions. The Board found that a medical opinion regarding the etiology of these conditions is necessary.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that remand was necessary to correct a duty to assist error based on evidence received during the September 2024 Board hearing.
