The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for cardiovascular disorder, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, type II, and skin disorder due to inadequate development. The VA is required to confirm the Veteran's current address, notify him of the necessary VA examination at his correct address, and request all relevant medical records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the notice provided for the VA examination was inadequate and remanded for proper notification and confirmation of the Veteran's address.
