Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a disability rating in excess of 40 percent for benign prostatic hypertrophy with urinary dysfunction with right radical nephrectomy status post kidney cancer due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as VA failed to develop and adjudicate additional complications related to the Veteran's service-connected disability, including grinding of the teeth, low energy, tiredness, concentration, and mood swings.
