Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for service connection of microcytic hyperchromic anemia is remanded to correct a duty to assist error and consider new evidence.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary because the examiner was not afforded an opportunity to provide a direct service connection opinion, nor was this new evidence provided to another examiner for consideration on a theory of direct service connection.
