Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal to correct a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error by addressing the Veteran's CUE contentions and considering Swain v. McDonald, 27 Vet. App. 219 (2015).
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to properly adjudicate the Veteran's claim in the first instance, specifically regarding the finality of the June 3, 2015 rating decision and failure to consider Swain v. McDonald.
