Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for restless leg syndrome of both lower extremities as more evidence is needed to determine if the Veteran's condition is secondary to his service-connected traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examiner did not provide an opinion on whether the Veteran's restless leg syndrome was caused or aggravated by his TBI, and therefore, a remand is necessary for another medical opinion.
