Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for higher ratings and special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance due to missing evidence from the Social Security Administration.
The deciding factor: A remand is required to obtain relevant federal records from the Social Security Administration, as these records are within VA's control and were not obtained prior to the initial decisions.
