Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for readjudication due to a duty to assist error, as the AOJ failed to obtain records of care at specific locations where the Veteran received treatment during his service.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's failure to attempt to secure relevant medical records from Fort Leonard Wood and Forts Stewart and Riley necessitates remand for further development.
