Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a review to properly determine the severity of the Veteran's throat cancer residuals, including peripheral neuropathy, loss of dentition, dry mouth, hoarseness, GERD, shortness of breath, left pneumothorax, and rhonchi conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's reports were inadequate as they did not sufficiently address all the claimed conditions for rating purposes.
