Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for tooth decay and gum disease due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error regarding proper notification for an examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because there was a failure to provide timely written notice of the scheduled examination, which constitutes a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
