Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal reflux disease, and hypertension to afford the Veteran appropriate examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in that there are no medical opinions regarding whether the Veteran's conditions are related or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
