Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a compensable initial disability rating for hypertension to obtain outstanding VA treatment records and schedule an examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in ensuring current VA medical records were on file at the time of the October 2020 rating decision.
