Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various conditions as a pre-decisional duty to assist error was found, specifically regarding notice and examination.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to provide the Veteran with proper notice of the information required to substantiate his claim, which is a pre-decisional duty to assist error that warrants a remand for corrective action.
