Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for ankylosing spondylitis and other disabilities due to inadequate medical examinations. The Veteran will receive new examinations to determine the nature and etiology of his conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and medical opinions obtained prior to the decision on appeal were found to be inadequate, warranting a remand for corrective action.
