Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of a left knee disability as secondary to right wrist fracture residuals due to an error by the AOJ in failing to provide notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing.
The deciding factor: The Board erred in failing to remand the matter under 38 C.F.R. § 20.802(a) for the correction of an error by the AOJ in satisfying a regulatory duty, specifically the failure to provide notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing.
