Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed, and several claims for service connection are remanded due to pre-decisional failures of the duty to assist.
The deciding factor: Remand was necessary due to inadequate evidentiary development and failure to properly consider lay statements in medical examinations.
