Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for service connection and increased rating due to additional evidence received after the last SOC was issued, requiring AOJ review.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure that the Veteran receives due process in the adjudication of this appeal, as new evidence has been added to the claims file since the last SOC was generated.
