Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hearing loss, TMJ, insomnia, penile condition, left knee condition, right knee condition, tinnitus, lower back pain, right wrist condition, and scars as further development is needed to obtain VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's unavailability due to active-duty Reserve status constituted good cause for missing the scheduled VA examinations, necessitating remand for such examinations.
