Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error related to the failure to obtain relevant private medical records prior to the initial rating decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the AOJ's failure to obtain relevant private medical records and provide an adequate VA examination or opinion, which may impact the outcome of the appeal.
