Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for hypertension due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, requiring an additional medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The examiners failed to adequately address the Veteran's specific medical history and the impact of his service-connected PTSD on his diagnosed hypertension.
