Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for compensation pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for peripheral neuropathy of the left upper extremity as a result of CABG surgery performed by VA on December 7, 2009, due to the need to obtain the informed consent form from November 30, 2009.
The deciding factor: The Board remands the claim because the informed consent form for the December 7, 2009, CABG surgery is not on file and a formal determination needs to be made regarding its existence or futility of obtaining it.
