Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues for further development, specifically to obtain and associate with the claims file all treatment records regarding the Veteran scanned into VISTA.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to lack of substantial compliance with previous remand directives by the RO in associating relevant records in VISTA imaging with the claims file.
