Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for VR&E services to correct an AOJ error in satisfying a regulatory duty, specifically to conduct an informal conference that was requested but not held.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the AOJ erred by issuing the HLR decision without conducting the requested informal conference, which would have a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the claim.
