Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for bilateral pes planus due to an error by the AOJ in failing to notify the Veteran of his right to a hearing prior to the initial rating decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to provide the Veteran notice of his right to a pre-decisional hearing before the AOJ, as he was not notified of this right at the time of the initial decision.
