Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher evaluation for the bilateral hearing loss due to an alleged duty to assist error regarding scheduling of a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because there is no indication that the Veteran was notified in writing or by phone of the date, time, and location of the VA examination, likely because such an examination was never scheduled in the first place.
