Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of deviated septum to ensure a VA examination is conducted and any relevant medical records are associated with the file.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically the lack of an examination to determine the etiology of the Veteran's condition.
