Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings and a 10 percent evaluation based on multiple, noncompensable disabilities due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 examination report did not address the ameliorative effects of medication, which is required under Jones v. Shinseki, 27 Vet. App. 56 (2012).
