The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for scheduling a videoconference hearing. The issues of rating the left long finger fracture and bilateral knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, as well as seeking service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder (claimed as PTSD and sleep problems), are pending.
The deciding factor: The case has been REMANDED to the RO for rescheduling of the Veteran's Board hearing due to a request for a BVA hearing by live videoconference.
