The Board is remanding the case to provide adequate notification of the VCAA requirements and to allow for further development before deciding whether new evidence has been received to reopen claims of service connection for allergic rhinosinusitis and vascular headaches.
The deciding factor: The decision was not made on the merits as it is a procedural matter related to notifying the veteran about his rights under the VCAA.
