Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of hypertension and migraine headaches due to exposure to toxic jet fuel. The Board found that the VA's medical opinions were inadequate and required further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the VA's medical opinions lacked sufficient rationale and were inconsistent with established medical literature, necessitating a remand for adequate medical opinions.
