The Board remands the claims for service connection for various disorders, including a respiratory disorder, headache disorder, loss of balance/dizziness disorder, vision impairment, neck disorder, shoulder and arm disorders, wrist disorders, hand disorders, feet and toes disorder, and an acquired psychiatric disorder due to incomplete evidentiary record.

The deciding factor: The remand is necessary as the record for review is currently incomplete, including outstanding private records and SSA records, and a VA examination has not been conducted for the psychiatric disorder claim.
