Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded for further examination and evaluation of the service-connected bruxism and bilateral articular disc disorder reducing with masticatory myofascial pain, as well as a total disability rating based on individual unemployability prior to July 24, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the RO did not substantially comply with its previous remand directives due to improper scheduling procedures for an examination in Cambodia where the Veteran is currently located.
