Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for a bilateral foot disorder, an acquired psychiatric disorder, a skin disorder, and a sleep disorder, as well as an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for cystitis, due to the need for further development.
The deciding factor: Further development is needed prior to adjudication of the remaining issues on appeal due to the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations without clear evidence that he was properly notified.
