Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an earlier effective date for service connection of various conditions based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in a March 1995 rating decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to address pre-decisional duty to assist errors deemed statutory in nature, as CUE motions must be adjudicated by the AOJ first.
