Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues on appeal, including service connection for various conditions. The Veteran's claims will be re-evaluated after additional development of his military records and VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the record showed possible additional active military service and that the Veteran had not been afforded VA examinations, requiring a remand.
