Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for arthritis pain in left knee, breathing issues caused by burn pits, and high blood pressure/hypertension due to a need for additional evidence through a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required for corrective action and the scheduling of a new in-person examination due to the Veteran's failure to report to a scheduled examination without good cause.
