Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of residuals of prostate cancer to ensure that the case is forwarded to the Under Secretary for Benefits for consideration under 38 C.F.R. § 3.311.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's failure to forward the case to the Under Secretary for Benefits constitutes a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error that needs to be cured.
