Remanded (sent back)
The claims for initial compensable ratings for right and left lower extremity peripheral neuropathy are remanded to correct a duty to assist error related to the failure to obtain private medical records.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error where necessary private treatment records were not obtained by the AOJ.
