Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for the AOJ to obtain and associate with the claims file all available records pertaining to the ambulance transportation on September 30, 2021, and provide appropriate notice under 38 U.S.C. § 5104(b) of the decision on the issue of entitlement to payment or reimbursement of ambulance transportation expenses incurred on that date.
The deciding factor: The appeal must be remanded as there is a pre-decisional duty to assist error in failing to obtain relevant medical records for the date of service at issue, and the claim was initially evaluated under incorrect criteria.
