Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for essential tremor, BPPV, and spinal disability due to errors in obtaining medical records and examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ erred by not obtaining reasonably identified and potentially relevant medical records and by not scheduling a VA medical examination.
