Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus to obtain additional medical records from Byrd Health Clinic.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error was found due to insufficient efforts to obtain relevant medical records from Byrd Health Clinic, which may cover the period when the Veteran first left service until he filed his claim.
