Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to obtain updated treatment records from Dr. Foley, as there is a duty to assist in obtaining such records.
The deciding factor: A review of the claims file shows that the Veteran continued receiving treatment from Dr. Foley after 2003, and updated records are relevant to the issue on appeal.
