Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues related to service connection for various arthritis conditions and tinnitus. The Veteran's claims will be re-evaluated with additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the case must be remanded due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including missing social security records and inadequate etiology opinions.
