The Board has remanded the case to obtain additional medical records and to seek a supplemental opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's peripheral neuropathy. The appeal is currently in a 'mixed' disposition as it involves both service connection and TDIU issues.
The deciding factor: Additional evidence was requested to support or refute the claims, including treatment records from various providers and an updated medical opinion on the cause of the Veteran's peripheral neuropathy.
