Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to recognition of B. M., as the Veteran's dependent spouse, and entitlement to monetary benefits for further evidence collection.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error was found, requiring corrective action such as obtaining the SSN of B.M. from the Social Security Agency and correctly calculating the Veteran's award from July 1972 to July 1997.
