Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for oral trauma residuals, to include mouth injury and scar, due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to verify in-service participation in toxic exposure risk activity and obtain an addendum VA opinion addressing the nature and etiology of the Veteran's oral trauma residuals.
