Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for higher ratings and a separate evaluation due to non-compliance with prior remand orders and failure to obtain private medical records.
The deciding factor: The VA did not comply with the remand order to obtain outstanding relevant private medical treatment records, and the Veteran was not notified of this inability.
