Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and a higher than 10 percent rating for bilateral foot porokeratosis in soles, metatarsalgia both feet to correct a duty to notify error.
The deciding factor: The notification letter accompanying the May 2021 rating decision did not include notice of the right to a hearing on a supplemental claim, which prevented the Veteran from making a fully informed decision with respect to his review options.
