Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for multiple conditions, including left and right leg, arm, knee, shoulder, kidney, plantar fasciitis, and back conditions, as further development is needed to address pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including failure to provide VA examinations, make reasonable efforts to obtain medical records from providers, and ensure all documents requiring translation were translated prior to adjudication.
