Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a kidney condition due to duty-to-assist errors, including inadequate efforts to obtain VA and SSA records and failure to provide the Veteran with an examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct duty-to-assist errors that occurred prior to the decision on appeal, such as inadequate efforts to obtain relevant medical records and a medical examination.
