Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for recognition as a substituted claimant and accrued benefits due to a pre-decisional error in satisfying a regulatory duty.
The deciding factor: The February 2021 decision erroneously misapplied VA regulations regarding whether a claim was pending, leading to an error in failing to acknowledge the Appellant's request for substitution as a substituted claimant.
