Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of traumatic brain injury (TBI) because the VA examination was inadequate. The veteran will receive a new examination to determine if his TBI is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address the veteran's statements and record of symptoms after separation from service, making the examination inadequate.
