The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for further development due to a lack of action by his representative from the Texas Veterans Commission.
The deciding factor: The VA did not allow the Veteran's current representative an opportunity to review the case file and submit a VA Form 646 on the Veteran's behalf as instructed in the December 2008 remand.
