The Board has remanded the case to the RO for further development and readjudication, including scheduling a VA examination and obtaining additional medical records. The claim will be considered on its merits after all appropriate consideration.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's employability and physical disabilities, as well as the need for updated medical records and examinations.
