Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for vertigo as a pre-decisional duty to assist error must be remedied before the Board may adjudicate the merits of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA medical opinion regarding secondary service connection in relation to hypertension is inadequate based on the lack of consideration of potential causative or aggravating effects of his hypertension medication, warranting a remand for further development.
