Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of burn scars to fingers due to a need to verify the Veteran's service period during which the injury may have occurred.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to correct a predecisional duty to assist error and to provide the AOJ the opportunity to verify the Veteran's service period in 2015, as the record indicates the injury may have occurred during ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA but does not contain sufficient information to make that finding.
