Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses related to non-VA care received in June 2023 due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the notice of decision which denied the claim.
The deciding factor: Remand is needed as the notification letters are legally inadequate under 38 U.S.C. § 5104, and a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
