Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for hypertension due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate because it did not address whether the Veteran's current hypertension was related to in-service events or if it was aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
