Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC), survivor pension, and accrued benefits for a period prior to the appellant's May 2005 remarriage due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The claim must be remanded to obtain VA documentation of identified relevant prior claims and correspondence between the appellant and VA that has not been made available for review as part of the record in the claims-file.
