Remanded (sent back)
The Board is remanding the matter to ensure that VA obtains outstanding federal records, including February 2016 and February 2017 audiological test scores, as well as any relevant private treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand was required due to the failure of VA to satisfy its duty to assist by obtaining necessary audiometric data from the Veteran's VA-administered tests in 2016 and 2017.
