Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for tinnitus, migraine headaches, a low back condition, a left wrist condition, right and left knee conditions, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances to correct an error by the RO in scheduling VA examinations prior to the rating decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: VA did not satisfy its duty to assist the Veteran in obtaining examinations concerning these claims due to the Veteran's relocation during scheduled examination periods.
