Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine the etiology of the Veteran's hypertension, including whether it is secondary to service-connected PTSD with major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence and to obtain a medical opinion for both direct and secondary service connection.
