Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for hypertension to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's current hypertension disability is due to service, including as related to a in-service incident.
The deciding factor: The existing evidence was deemed inadequate, and an addendum opinion is needed to address the in-service incident where the Veteran developed high blood pressure during training.
