Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all claims for service connection due to insufficient evidence and the need for further medical examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations qualifies him as a 'Persian Gulf veteran' and warrants VA medical examinations and opinions on his claimed conditions.
