Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection and a higher initial rating due to an error in providing notice of the right to a hearing.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because the Veteran was not provided notice of the right to a hearing, thus preventing him from being able to make a fully informed decision with respect to his review options.
