Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an increased rating and TDIU due to insufficient evidence of proper notice and duty-to-assist errors.
The deciding factor: Insufficient documentation on file to show that the Veteran was adequately informed of the correct date and time, especially given his homeless status. The AOJ failed to obtain relevant private medical records before denying the claim for increase.
