Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased rating in excess of 10 percent for multinodular goiter with intermittent hyperthyroidism and syncopal episodes associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and in excess of 20 percent for femoral neuropathy, left leg, due to a lack of substantial compliance with the previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The conflicting evidence regarding the Veteran's symptoms and the need for additional private medical records necessitate further development before a decision can be made on these claims.
