Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for osteopenia (now claimed as osteoporosis) to obtain potentially outstanding medical treatment records.
The deciding factor: The Board erred by failing to ensure that the duty to assist was satisfied with regard to VA and private records relevant to the claim, specifically regarding a 2014 Patient Advocates Office proceeding and University of Chicago medical treatment records.
