Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for meningitis and leukopenia due to a procedural due process violation.
The deciding factor: Due process was violated as the Veteran's request for an extension of time to submit a response to the SSOC was not addressed by the AOJ before returning the appeal to the Board.
