Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for depression, PTSD, and headaches. The Board found that the VA failed to provide necessary medical examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that a pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because the VA did not conduct adequate medical examinations.
