Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral hip disability, non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, and bilateral knee disability to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA examination and failure to inform the Veteran of his right to a hearing prior to AOJ determination.
