Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae and a rating in excess of 10 percent for a left ankle disability due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The RO did not take sufficient measures to ensure the Veteran was notified of his scheduled examinations, leading to the remand.
