Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to the RO for readjudication of the claim for service connection for the cause of death, as well as an assessment of whether new and relevant evidence was available at the time of prior rating decisions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the April 2021 HLR decision did not adequately address the Appellant's appeal due to a failure to identify which decision(s) were subject to review and to adjudicate the proper issue of entitlement to service connection for the cause of death.
