The Board has remanded the claims for an acquired psychiatric disability, a right-hand disability, and a vision disability due to errors in providing adequate notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing on supplemental claims.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the Board did not provide proper notice regarding the Veteran's right to a hearing before the RO as required by regulations and court orders.
