Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an increased disability rating and earlier effective date based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in prior rating decisions.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the AOJ's failure to address CUE claims, which are necessary for initial adjudication.
