The Board of Veterans' Appeals remands the Veteran's claims for service connection for aortic thrombosis, chronic left shoulder condition, lung condition affecting the right upper lobe, abdominal aorta condition, and chronic proximal left vertebral artery occlusion to ensure compliance with procedural requirements.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to procedural errors in the initial decision, including internal inconsistencies in the rating decision, failure to consider evidence submitted within the one-year period, and failure to address secondary service connection for aortic thrombosis and left vertebral artery occlusion as reasonably raised by the record.
