Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection and evaluation of several disabilities, including hearing loss, heart disability, head trauma, and nasal disability. The Board found that additional medical examinations and nexus opinions are needed to clarify the diagnoses and establish a link to service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that remand was necessary due to outstanding relevant records and the need for medical examinations and nexus opinions.
