Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection of hepatitis C and conditions secondary to it, including bleeding hemorrhoids, bleeding ulcers, acute colitis, diverticulitis, inflamed rectal tissue, IBS, skin condition, tracheal burning with constant acid buildup, and urinary incontinence.
The deciding factor: The claims are remanded due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors by the AOJ that need correction before a fair adjudication can be made.
