Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right eye disability to ensure compliance with previous remand instructions, including obtaining additional medical evidence and ensuring all relevant records are associated with the claims file.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to provide the Veteran and his representative with the VA examiner's qualifications as required by Francway v. Wilkie, and to associate missing eye imaging records with the claims file.
