The Board remands the claims for a back disability, left elbow disability, right knee disability, left knee disability, and migraine headaches to address pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to several pre-decisional duty to assist errors including missing VA treatment records, private treatment records, lay statements regarding symptoms and functional impairment, and a comprehensive evaluation of the severity of the disabilities discounting the ameliorative effects of medications.
