Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for transient ischemic attack and hypertension to obtain additional medical opinions addressing secondary service connection theories, including potential links to the Veteran's service-connected persistent depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and Camp Lejeune exposures.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to predecisional duty to assist errors in the VA examinations, specifically for failing to address all raised theories of entitlement, including direct service connection and secondary service connection related to toxic exposure at Camp Lejeune.
