Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hearing loss, tinnitus, an ankle condition, and neck strain due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding scheduling VA examinations.
The deciding factor: A remand is required to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error by scheduling additional VA examinations for the Veteran's claims, as well as to consider potential TERA exposure under the PACT Act.
