Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hand tremors, dyspnea, restless leg syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and headaches as further development is needed to address the Veteran's assertions of Gulf War Syndrome-related symptoms.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examination was found inadequate due to a lack of consideration of the Veteran's statements regarding symptom onset and functional impairment, and failure to provide an opinion on the etiology in the context of potential undiagnosed illnesses or MUCMIs related to Persian Gulf War service.
