Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues on appeal to obtain complete service treatment records and schedule medical examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the service treatment records were incomplete, particularly from before 2007, and that medical opinions were not obtained before adjudicating the Veteran's claims.
