Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities and special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance, pending implementation of an earlier effective date for urge incontinence.
The deciding factor: The issues are inextricably intertwined with the grant of an earlier effective date for urge incontinence, which could significantly impact the decision on both claims.
