Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for revision of an April 2017 rating decision that denied service connection for TBI and a February 2020 rating decision that reduced the Veteran's disability rating for thoracolumbar spine degenerative arthritis, both on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to adjudicate the specific theories of CUE proffered by the Veteran in the first instance.
