Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new VA examination to correct duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to errors in assisting the Veteran under 38 U.S.C. § 5103A, as the AOJ ordered and then cancelled examinations without proper notification or documentation of attempts to contact the Veteran.
