Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of vision disorders and total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU). The Board found that further medical opinions are needed to adequately address the veteran's conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the previous medical opinions were inadequate and did not provide a complete rationale for all diagnosed eye disorders.
