Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for anxiety, arteriosclerotic heart disease with congestive heart failure and implanted cardiac pacemaker, and hypertension as further development is necessary to obtain adequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence was provided to determine the etiology of the claimed conditions, necessitating a remand for additional VA examinations.
