Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for further evidentiary development to confirm the Veteran's status under the Blue Water Navy Act and ensure compliance with the duty to assist.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error related to the lack of signed documentation confirming the Veteran's eligibility under the Blue Water Navy Act.
