Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for tinnitus. The veteran will get a new VA examination to determine if her tinnitus is related to military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that VA's failure to obtain valid audiological test results and afford the Appellant a new VA examination constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
