Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and heart disease disabilities to correct an error by the AOJ, ensuring that any evidence not considered will be addressed in a re-adjudication.
The deciding factor: The RO committed a pre-decisional duty to assist error in failing to timely notify the Veteran of the requirement of filing his claim for hearing loss and a heart condition on a proper form.
