Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various disabilities, including memory loss, psychiatric conditions, right knee and hip issues, ankle disability, sleep apnea, renal cysts, pulmonary nodules, and dyspnea, due to missing service treatment records and the need for additional development of evidence.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including missing STRs and the need for VA examinations and opinions.
