Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of post-concussion syndrome because the Veteran was not given a VA examination to determine if her symptoms were related to this condition. The case will be reviewed again with new evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran should have been afforded a VA examination to ascertain the likelihood that any symptoms documented in her service treatment records were manifestations of a post-concussion syndrome that continued into the present, and failure to do so constituted a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
