Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matters for further development, including obtaining potentially relevant medical records and readjudicating the claims.
The deciding factor: The record reveals that the Veteran received private medical treatment, but no records relating to such treatment have been associated with the claims file. A remand is necessary to allow the AOJ to attempt to obtain these records.
