Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a heart disorder to correct a duty to assist error, as an adequate VA examination was not provided and no medical opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's heart disorder was obtained.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the lack of an adequate VA examination and a medical opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's heart disorder.
