Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development to ensure that VA fulfilled its duty to assist, specifically regarding obtaining private medical records related to VA-authorized treatments.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the failure to adequately address whether VA fulfilled its duty to assist with respect to obtaining and associating the Veteran's private medical records for VA-authorized medical treatment.
