Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a neck, back, bilateral knee, and left humerus bone tumor disabilities to ensure all pertinent records are in the claim file and to afford the Veteran an assessment of his current disability status.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to missing records and to provide the Veteran with a hearing as requested in his December 2019 substantive appeal, per Court order.
