Remanded (sent back)
The claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a right eye disability is remanded to correct a duty to assist error related to the Veteran's hearing with a Decision Review Officer in March 2019.
The deciding factor: A transcript or written account of the March 2019 DRO hearing could not be located, and there was no follow-up attempt to offer the Veteran another hearing. Therefore, the claim must be remanded for these actions to be completed.
