Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a pre-decisional duty to assist error based on the precedential rule announced in Veteran Warriors, Inc. v. Sec'y of Veterans Affairs, 29 F.4th 1320 (Fed. Cir. 2022).
The deciding factor: The November 2022 CEAT opinion is inadequate as it provides no rationale for its conclusion nor does it address the findings of the November 2022 Veteran Functional Assessment Instrument (VFAI).
