Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an earlier effective date and initial ratings for skin disorders and allergic rhinitis due to a lack of notice regarding the Veteran's right to a pre-decisional hearing.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because the VA 21-526EZ form did not include requisite notice of the Veteran's right to a pre-decisional hearing, which is required by regulation.
