Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for a Higher-Level Review (HLR) of the issue by an experienced adjudicator to ensure due process and provide the Veteran 'two bites of the apple.'
The deciding factor: The RO did not provide a HLR decision on the claim, which was identified as such by the Veteran, and is required by law.
