Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for hypertension because relevant medical information was not considered. The Veteran will undergo a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that pertinent medical information was added to the claims file but not reviewed or considered by any examiner or the AOJ before denying the Veteran's claim, constituting a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
